    even on the windows side, there is sambar server, tiny server (which is very small and very fast), and a multitude of others, some are feature rich, others just push out plain web pages.

    I did say filling the airwaves, I know where to look, going to two concerts this month, both artists that are not known on a national level.

    If he's talking about theateres, he may have a point, but certain films wanting 110% of the boxoffice for the first 3 weeks of the film does as much damage... (I believe that was the case for StarWars episode 1)
