But lets look at the situation of bad internet, power outages etc. if you can deliver something that is a snapshot it can be updated when you have a connection. some places just need a dvd or two with the most important information and they would be happy. they say that in the past the avg person had only one newspapers worth of information in their whole life. also it would increase adoption, a dvd or set of dvds with information that is able to be copied could be installed by the local pc guy, it would give him something to do. that would at least get people moving. sorry to be contrary and backwards, but this is what i learned in the digital third world. thanks mike -- James Michael DuPont Member of Free Libre Open Source Software Kosova http://flossk.org Saving wikipedia(tm) articles from deletion http://SpeedyDeletion.wikia.com Contributor FOSM, the CC-BY-SA map of the world http://fosm.org Mozilla Rep https://reps.mozilla.org/u/h4ck3rm1k3
