have to agree with Vadim here...the point that has *always* been stressed
here is that if something is important to you, fix it. Don't expect
anyone else to fall into some sort of "party line" or scheduale, cause
then ppl lose the enjoyment in what they are doing *shrug*
for instance, out of the three things you listed, the only one that I'd
consider an issue is the third, as I've never hit the first two
limitations ...*shrug*
