I think the media talk about "taking down the Internet" are kind of bogus. Nobody has ever died because they couldn't check their email. If the net went down for an hour, a day, or even a week I think that my mom and the rest of the non "glued-to-their-terminal" world would somehow struggle through and sustain a normal daily routine. -davidu [who probably would not survive a week long net outage ;) ] -- "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful citizens can change the world.
