I know these things happen on a regular basis, but it still boggles 
my mind as well. Just tonight this guy in England drops a video 
monitor on his beloved JX-8P and breaks one of the keys. He is about 
to cut his throat but one look in Google and he sees he can get a new 
one from Holland. He hits his Paypal button and I'll be dropping his 
key off at the post office when day breaks.
For us this is an everyday thing and we usually take it for granted, 
but we should realize the web is the most important invention of the 
20th century (except for the synthesizer maybe - LOL). Behind all the 
banners and the Viagra spam, the true ideal of the web is more alive 
than ever.
