I assume you also can't understand why people
spend many hours making a
mechanical closk from scratch when a $10 quartz clock is much more
accurate. Or why people learn to play a musical instrument rather than
just listening to a record/tape/CD. Or why people paint pictures when
there are plenty of cameras around.
Tony,
I won't defend the lack of description on the URL. (I didn't bother to go
look until someone else said what it was about, and I'm on fast boradband.)
However, I took the comment you quoted to have an intrinsic "in addition"
rather than the intrinsic "instead" you saw.
However, the dial-up issue trumps everything else, and I don't blame you
in the least for your irritation.
