Well are you volunteering to drive your station wagon across America to make sure everyone can have access to 25GB/s or whatever it is carrying tapes around? Because I hate dealing with old people who know nothing about the internet.

What's so amazing about that? Carl Jung pointed out what we all subconsciously knew all along: People are a walking mass of contradictions (heavily paraphrased, I know, bear with me here). The ability to entertain two contradictatory thoughts at the same time is one of the main things that differentiates the human mind from a computer. I have a friend who gives forth eloquently and logically on any number of geopolitical/social topics, yet still harbors an irrational hatred for France (though I've managed to convince him to scale back his rantings to a mostly personal loathing for Jacques Chirac and his cronies).

"Stand not amaz'd," for such is the human condition.
