Re: [H] British TV: "The IT Crowd"
Okay, that's cool, I'll buy that...but just in a more general sense, it amazes me how popular BT remains despite the fact that it is the most heavily monitored of any P2P technology. I don't touch any of it. Seems stupid to me--but again, that's just me.

RE: [H] British TV: "The IT Crowd"
It's silly, its juvenile, but it's a bit of mindless fun in a world that needs to lighten up a little. You mentioned the office earlier, which do you prefer the UK version or the US version. I am very impressed with the US version much better than any of the other comedies they have tried to copy (coupling springs to mind).
