     I agree! FTP is getting to be a dirty word. Nyah nyah you can't get to
  all this neato stuff!

     I have very little network knowledge, but, (dontcha hate it when people
  start sentences this way?) wouldn't it be lovely if someone could write
  a program to allow people with just an amiga and a modem to access these
  sites?

     Of course it's COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE (darn it) but it sure would solve
  a lot of problems!
