True, but even today it's still out of reach of some people. I'd love to have a 24/7 cable connection, but I can't afford it so I stick with my 56k modem dialup. My 30 gig disk is rapidly filling up, but I bet I'm deleting stuff before I can afford to add more disk space. Just reminding you that there are still people in the world on a tight budget. :-) LMI> On the third hand, why not define a new format altogether? LMI> X-Gif-Face, or something. X-Png-Face would be better (keeps away from the Gif patent issue). LMI> Or even referring to an outside source via HTTP. So when do we get X-Streaming-Video? :-) -- |---------------------| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |---------------------------------------|
