Yes, me! Pretty please? *kitty eyes* Seriously: sometimes, a machine is perfectly adequate, except for one task that eats disproportionate amounts of resources. Questioning the apropriateness of that task would seem to be a reasonable step to undertake, before running to the store waving your credit card (not to speak of the waste problem). Apart from the fact that many people on this planet *are* really-terribly-out-of-pocket, there are still other issues than money. --zeurkous. -- Friggin' Machines!
