Sure, but the context goes beyond the machines- the net is at least part of the
context of anything that goes over it. I don't care about what machines people
are using - But I have a bad phone line and worse radio in Bp-
So give me bandwidth and ra so I can listen to something good
for a change! The livestream is interesting anyway- but difficult
in my net context...
