Thanks for the education. I had never heard that term before (although I 
was using the Internet before there was any WWW). I remember when only 
the elite had Usenet access (not to mention real Internet E-mail 
addresses) and I could only dream. And when I did finally start using 
Usenet, every time I went to post something, a big warning came up 
pointing out the tremendous bandwidth impact of what I was about to do. 
And this was text! I sometimes think of that as I watch my streaming 
Netflix movie.
