But if you really are missing my point..then let me state it

(1) I don't like waiting 4 hours to download gigabytes of crap
I don't actually want, but somehow need (if I want to compile
64bit D that is).
Start the download when you go to sleep, when you wake up it will
be finished. I did this as a kid when I had internet that was
probably even slower than yours right now. It'll be like those 4
hours never even happened.
(2)I like to have choice.
A fast internet might help with (1).
(2) seems out of reach (and that's why I dont' and won't be
using D on Windows ;-)
It's probably why you shouldn't be on Windows to begin with..
(being a recreational programmer, I have that luxury..I
understand that others do not, but that's no reason for 'some'
to dismiss my concerns as irrelevant. They're relavent to me,
and that's all that matters ;-)
Talk about being narcissistic ;)
