    Just get over the DRM issues. We all know that consumer opinions do not matter, and the average user has no idea what DRM is to begin with. It takes me considerably longer to use multimedia the way I want to, but I always convert music to a non-drm format (burn it to a virtual cd, then rip it) and I rip all my DVDs and get rid of the annoying parts and put them on my server (keeps my 2 year old's hands off them, and its faster when I want to convert it for use somewhere else).

    Create your wiki with TiddlyWiki, then print the html source code. When you need to access it, just scan and OCR the source and turn it back into an html file. That should survive anything... except a fire...

    I love the technical details: Monster Cable XLN technology for fast and reliable data transfer. Terminated with modular RJ11 connectors. 24k gold-plated contacts provide error-free data transfer and maximum corrosion resistance. Available in 5 colors (Navajo White, black, blue, yellow and red) for color-coding different lines XLN construction eliminates crosstalk (noise) between conductors, low-loss dielectric offers improved signal integrity over long runs All this so you can connect it to the wiring in your house that might be cat3 and then to phone lines that were in most rural areas installed in the 1970's when party lines went out of style.

    Off topic but, Bah! Who needs power assist features? The power steering in my 1991 VW GTI hasn't held fluid since 2000 when a seal went. Add to that 145/50/15 series tires and it makes for some fun parking lot parking action. Hard, but not impossible...

    What do you mean by the media says what the president wants them to? Last I heard they all hate Bush and take every oppertunity to make him look like a moron. Forget all he has done to help the country. And while we are at it, lets blame everything that is going wrong with the country on him and nothing on the previous clinton was supposed to do. Everyone seems to think he was this great hot shot but in fact he was riding on the sucess of the work that W Senior put in. Now the new W is having to put up with the mess clinton created while in office. What did Clinton do when Sadam was killing his own people? Slap him on the rist... When there were reports of WMD and longrange missiles that violated the peace agreement from the Gulf war? He pretty much ignored them

    Good trade. No stem cell research in the U.S. for the twin towers, the Pentagon, and four airplanes. I am glad you can blame bush for the idiocy of president clinton. If he had of kept his secretary at her desk instead of under his maybe Bin Laden would be dead by now.
