That's really not true. Before car companies sell cars, they pass (lots of) safety certification tests. Before owners drive cars legally, they pass a safety and emissions test. Sure, the highway folks clean up after the occasional tire blowout, but there's been a lot of work put in to make sure that the engines aren't going to drop out on a regular basis. If the Internet was a highway, it would be covered in burned-out engines. -Dave -- work: [EMAIL PROTECTED] me: [EMAIL PROTECTED] MIT Laboratory for Computer Science http://www.angio.net/ I do not accept unsolicited commercial email.
