They also tend to be the people who phone you at awkward times, and still keep their TV running full blast in the background so you've got a headache within a few minutes. Though I tend to agree about the needing a real life retort to that. ;-) I used to run the radio most of the day (and the TV off!), but that was a real radio, and electricity costs are far less than data costs. People do expect to be able to do the same sort of thing, internet-wise. -- [tim@bigblack ~]$ uname -ipr 2.6.22.5-76.fc7 i686 i386 Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5. Today, it's FC7.
