Just because a download is possible doesn't make it preferable. Look at TV today ... most folks only videotape a show to preserve it, or to time shift it. And most just channel surf rather than load up one of the 100+ video tapes in their collection. Am I wrong? TV and radio are streaming audio ... it just comes ... in variety ...and that has impulse appeal. And offers easy variety ... click: News ... click: Comedy ... click: Spanish Channel ... click: BabeWatch! Ahhh, sit back, relax .... Commercial! Click ... etc. Can't do that with a stack of videotapes or downloads ... the couch potatoes of the world want their stream edited and delivered by someone else ... while they sit back and punch the clicker ... and RNWK provides the technology to deliver that via PC (read WebTV). Just my uninformed opinion. Doug (long RNWK)
