Let me be more succinct here. GET OFF MY LAWN!!! Seriously, technology, and its uses, evolve and change over time. This is not new to computers. The webs purpose was to disseminate information. The limitations of the day kept it to text with some minor graphics. As soon as those limitations were surpassed it grew. Others saw the potential of the medium and have gone with it. The "initial purpose" changed as soon as Mosaic came out. --Larry_______________________________________________ MacOSX-talk mailing list [email protected] http://www.omnigroup.com/mailman/listinfo/macosx-talk
