"Do you really need a cell phone the size of a pack of matches?" By the same reasoning, why didn't we stop with the Model T ? Do we really need computers that store 20 gigabytes? At what point do we stop progress? I'm sure that one hundred years ago a man with a couple of strong horses couldn't ask for anything more. But seriously, do you really realize what you're saying? Progress happens gradually. The benefits of the microchip weren't immediately apparent in the late sixties, yet today the microchip has affected the world around us. A small cell phone in itself is meaningless. What is important is the technology behind it. That technology will lead to other breakthroughs in the future. As ignorant and immature as I may be, I do know that you must NOT stop progress. Progress is the essence of human nature. Must go, the inlaws will be pissed. Have a good one. Vince
