Hi Jack, Go easy on the welfare folks, they get less than 1% as much welfare from the govmint as corporations do, by my calculation. Think about this, when those on welfare go to buy their kids school clothes, they pay a sales tax. When you or I buy a book, video or computer over the Internet, we pay none. Is this fair? Here's where you'll find a lot of growth: star-telegram.com Only problem is, it's a growth in perversity, mean spiritedness and disillusionment, IMVHO. Back to the fun stuff: Take a look see at ILX Lightwave. Just announced it intends to sell shares in their profitable company to the likes of you and me. I'm thinkin' I kinda like the looks of this one. :)) Best, Ray

I had asked, over on the CIEN thread: Anyone care to take a stab at when critical Internet access penetration occurred? Jack's reply: My guess is within a year of so of the 56K modem intro... One of big disappointments with my upgrade to a cable modem is the annoying lag between URL request and delivery. Any ideas what causes this phenomenon? No complaints on file downloads though. ------- What is the approximate lag between hitting enter and when the download initiates?
