Of course I'd download video, but not that much. And yes, I am fully aware of tasking bloat, it's been going on since we started using these infernal confusor contraptions.

Actually the constant expansion of technology loading started when Oog discovered three logs tied together would float him across the creek.

Then Mrs Oog wanted to ride, and her brother, his two kids, their buddies ETC. And the hunting party asked him to tote the two Mastodon tusks across.

Pretty soon Oog had to build the QE2.

Robert, I think you can relate to this one.

FTP up a 14.34 MB ZIP file on dial-up @ 1.2 KBPS, and not that reliable a connection either!

Worse, a 45.7 MB ZIP file download @ 3.5 KPBS, want to know just how long that takes, if you don't get disconnected at 99.9% completion?

(Hint, I can usually get a good nights sleep while doing either one. Both are real examples, recent.)
