yeah, but the reason you move to new technology is because the old is 
not the most efficient way to do it.

I don't know, in Louisiana, (where you get the BEST politicians money 
can buy), I liked the old ancient mechanical voting machines.  Where you 
pulled the little red levers down and you could 'feel' your vote. :) 
Then you'd have to pull the long handle at the bottom which would 
register your vote and clear all your selections.  Man, that thing took 
two hands.  I'll bet there are some strong old ladies back in old LA. :)

to FM, why doesn't that apply to the Internet (anymore...)?
