Paolo and Marc are insisting on espresso ;~). But, if you don't mind guys, I love expresso, too, but I drink it by the mug - which is probably why my eyes haven't closed since 1982...

In response to something I read today, I just want to say I think spyware is wrong, period. Typical users do not read the fine print and will click without a thought, which is exactly what certain "free software" purveyors are counting on. I'll take privacy, thank you...

Teaming Up To Beat Cable. SBC and EchoStar are joining forces to 'provide an alternative,' just a diplomatic way of saying 'We're out to get them.' [internetnews.com: Top News]
That would be the same SBC which here in Michigan (SBC/Ameritech) has an ancient infrastructure of phone lines that can't handle a 56k modem (more like 26k) in some areas (like mine) and can't provide DSL to some residences (like mine) using phone lines they installed less than 2 years ago. I'm using Comcast cable and am quite happy with it - I doubt that SBC is going succeed at providing an alternative to cable... at least, not in my case. Like many industry giants, they sell services they can't provide very well and I'm guessing they're about to do it again...
