Have to agree with J.C's response to this letter. It seems to make more sense
to have the whole situation "re-figgured" when Bubba's weight changes. Why do
constant recalculations of a static situation? just do the calculation when
things change.

Actually, I believe that IS there stated purpose. maybe on a slightly
different time frame (by 1998, not 2k. :). Thier next OS release is supposed
to make yer machine look like a web page, with the WWW being an extension of
your machine. It actually does kinda make some sense, but I still prefer my
Linux box with the command line interface. Or X if I feel like loading it up
that day. *grin*
