because youtube isn't important enough to me to bother. when i watch youtube, it's because i've come across a link to an interesting or amusing video, or someone has emailed the link to me. sometimes i'll watch part of a "let's play" video if i've been stuck for ages in a particular part of a game. for casual/indifferent use like that, pointing and drooling with a browser works better. i sometimes use iview-cli to watch some ABC TV shows that i've missed because I want to watch it on my big TV and not in a browser...and without the occasional lags and delays of streaming. now that i've discovered get-iplayer for BBC programs, i'll probably use that occassionally too. but youtube isn't worth the bother. it's unimportant enough that the annoyances of streaming are acceptable. > Unless you want to wallow in that cesspit of the youtubes comment > section. :D as appealing as that sounds, i think i'll give it a miss. cultural barbarian that i am. craig -- craig sanders <[email protected]> BOFH excuse #163: no "any" key on keyboard _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-main
