what will happen to the gifted ones we have just lost. I understand the problems associated with supporting web news but given user (me) complications I have not been able to make it work. I'm no dummy and can kick ass on technology I used during my career but lot of this is beyond me. We are all smart and if we can find a way to use our smarts collectively I have a gut feeling we can find way to take back the media and restore it to its better days. There is something about Adams I want to look up and will pm you when I find it. Heard it on Hartmanna few days ago...
