We're experiencing a bandwidth drought, bandwidth is a naturally renewable resource that is being replenished only at a very slow rate by natural biological systems. Unfortunately we've used up all of the naturally occurring bandwidth reserves in the last few years and now we're beginning to experience the consequences, slow cable networks, T1s dropping like canaries in a coal mine, folks this is just the beginning. Soon we'll be fighting each other over access to a 2400 baud dial-up modem. Oh the humanity! ps. welcome back and congratulations rob. pps. it's funny, laugh.
