An ironic factor in this - the stores were originally a necessary evil meant to carry the cost of the bandwidth for the active sites. Now they are the tail wagging the dog - or the raison d'tre. (I have a hard enough time spelling the Frog influenced English words, pure Frog - hopeless.) I wonder if the 'ripples' from the falling house of cards that World Com is the start of, will hit bandwidth costs harder than the Dot Com crash?
