Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowded road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever. Then, of course, theres Mr. Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go. But dont trick yourself; he pays for that speeding.Passage 2Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it?
