Exactly; and if they're in Outer Slobovia, that could take weeks.
Whereas downloading Zone Alarm takes minutes.

With ZA, you double-click on a downloaded file.  With a router, you
install hardware, THEN you go install files.  If you've already been up
and running, you also have to go change network settings, and that is
scary stuff for the computer illiterate.  If you can't see that X is
less work than X + Y + Z, for any values whatsoever of Y and Z > 0,
we have no common basis for discussion.

Either way, I'm done.
