Jacky-AY,

Yeah, I guess I forgot about the pervert factor. For most Internet uses, people browse a lot and download for long-term storage very little. But if this is what he's basing his recommendation on...

On the other hand, Scott Adams (the author of Dilbert) said in his recent book, "The Dilbert Future", that you can always count on three things: humans are inherently stupid, selfish, and horny. According to Mr. Adams, you may reasonably predict the future just using these three attributes.

IOM = horny
AOL = stupid
MCNS/??? = selfish

It all makes sense now! :-D
