Y'know...folks keep forgetting that this whole Internet thingie is a crap-shoot anyway. It's a miracle that the bloody thing works in the first place and when there are problems, when there are kinks in the giant garden hose of information, well, that's life! I teach my students that they shouldn't complain when the silly thing gets twitchy. Since most of them were'nt even born when there were no computers, and most of them can't write because they can "keyboard," they just don't comprehend that electronics and programming are, to use their own term, "vaporware" and can vanish just as easily as they appeared. I have not downloaded the free gifts yet. I'll get around to it eventually and I want them because the quality is extremly good and I can think of a couple of scenes where they would fit nicely. But we need to remember that the gift is just that: a gift. Thank you for the gift.
