Gnutella - Next big thing? Anyone heard of this one?

Both the beauty and danger of Gnutella are that it is a more sophisticated version of Napster, the infamous and popular program that college students have been using to swap music files over the Web. Napster's developers have recently been hit with a flurry of copyright-infringement lawsuits. But unlike users of Napster, Gnutella aficionados can trade files without going through a storage center, making it impossible to shut down the system without unplugging every computer on the network and difficult to control by laws because there's no central authority.

The best hope for the poor and minorities to build some wealth is to allow them to invest THEIR money.

The trick will be for Bush to have the poor and minorities understand what he wants to do for them. Gore can holler "risky" and they can relate to that. If Bush tries to get too technical with the plan, don't you think they will tune out?
