  You guys just don't get it.  That just isn't the way things work in the
real world.  I'm tired of trying to explain it to you.  I've worked in the
industry and budgeted for this stuff and know how much it costs but that
doesn't matter.  You've convinced yourselves that everything is free.  
Fine.  Go out and build your free networks and charge people $30/month to
use them and make a gazillion dollars and buy Microsoft.  When you've done
that, I will happily *eat* my modem.  Until then, I'm not holding my breath.
