Clearly, then, a Real Network has to have connections live all the time so
that it knows when machines go down.  Do let us know when you are willing
to finance such a network for us.  Meanwhile, we will continue to use our
unReal but still exceedingly cost-effective network.  We will also continue
to have a low opinion of people who think that there is something "unreal"
about one of the largest networks in the world.
