And THAT is another form of laziness!

Why not ask yourself what new opportunities might
be opened up by fixing the Internet email architecture so
that email can, once again, be a tool for business and for
social development? Spending money can be an expense or
an investment. It's all in how you look at it. Once your
thinking gets trapped in the expense/costcutting mentality
you are doomed because you can only cut costs so far. Once
you get to zero, there's nowhere else to go. But investment
thinking has no limits. How much did CERN invest in
Tim Berners Lee's web browsing technology? Where did 
that lead to?
