uknm's not as funny. well, sometimes...


>content is getting cheaper by the day, by the hour, by the minute.


but good, specialist content costs effort and expertise. it's like 

saying you've got frontpage so you can design web pages. what you 

really mean is you can publish web pages. i suspect what you mean is 

if you're already online it's easy to get all the info you need. 

doesn't solve the problems associated with not having a 3mbit uplink 

from you watch if you're stuck in traffic, and free content doesn't 

mean it's good content.


i hate to vaguely contradict myself, but some things are worth paying 

that extra bit for, n'est-ce pas?
