Hell, books are just ink and woodpulp. I can't believe people charge so much for computers; they're just a bunch of wire, plastic, and metal. And don't get me started on movies. Hell, those DVDs only cost a few cents more than CDs! Sure, the movie itself costs millions, but that's not my problem! derek (and the reason pirating took off is the same reason radio is still popular) -- eggytoast.com -------------- commerce soon: eggtastic.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
