    *ROFL*!!!!  Oh, jeez, Bill, you crack me up.  No really, you do.  Please,
can I send this to all of friends and family of the people who *DIED* last
summer in the USA because of power shortages forcing them to shut down their
AC?  IIRC the death toll in Texas was double digits, Chicago alone was
somewhere in the same.

    We're talking the availability of the resource, not the actual price or
choice to buy it or not.  Bandwidth is not a limitless resource.  Power is not
a limitless resource.
