I'm surprised at the lack of a very large and well organized consumer interest group to protest the modern developments on the web. The constant need for computer system upgrades and new software just to keep up with the latest unessential web gizmos just so that we can have access to the basic textual information we are looking for is becoming very costly to consumers. If people would just wake up to the fact that all these new web developments are just a part of the the monopolistic conspiracy to rip them off then something would be done about it. Consumer interest groups could start by simply organizing boycotts of the web sites which fail to heed their complaints. Boycotts will always work if you can organize enough disgruntled people. In the business world the bottom line is that the customers are always right. Sam Heywood -- This mail was written by user of The Arachne Browser - http://arachne.cz/
