Rick, I vote that you come out of lurk mode more often. :) It just seems to me that any tornados that form will be around the technologies that provide access to Guide+, instead of around Guide+ itself. I'm not sure that will be the case once IPGs become more well known. Now that the price of televisions that contain IPGs is dropping considerably, there's a good possibility people will buy televisions just to be able to have a guide. But let's assume that doesn't happen and that the tornado forms around the technologies that provide access to guides instead of around the guides themselves. Not to appear cavalier, but so what? The tornado for DOS formed around access to personal computers, not access to DOS itself. It's inherent that the tornado around many enabling softwares, whether it be router software, operating system software, or the enabling aspect of interactive guide software, will be formed around the desire to have access to something other than the software itself. Bring on the tornado, regardless of what causes it to blow! --Mike Buckley
