* Note on WWW6 at the end. I vote he eats it... :-)

Well my concern about all this is this. Has anyone checked out the amount
of traffic on the usenet lately? No not on comp.sys.whatever.obscure, but
on the alt.* groups with all the spam? These idiot porno people flood the
groups with their spam and cross post to boot. So now we have,
1) Idiots surfing the web.
2) Idiot porno spam
3) Idiot push technology from everybody.
Yeah, and the bandwidth is going to improve....

Restarting the computer frees up space that,
over one or more days, can get filled with files
the computer uses only temporarily. - NeXTStep Power Tips, pg. 19
