Lawrence, re >> I pay them over $100/year annuity stream so they can "push" adverts to me. And if I don't pay, the machine is junk << I wouldn't buy a device requiring a monthly fee to work either. Once customers vote with their pocket books, the fees and the purchase price should be adjusted down. Even $500 is too high, considering the cost of the HD in the device. But that's the case for all new and neat electronic devices. Early 56kbps modems were $150 and now they can be had for $30. Gottfried
