- So what? The same people pay good money to have their cars fixed

- That's just your opinion, not a fact. Some might think 5 minutes is
- OK, while 10 minutes is too long. And others might have a slower
- harddisk, so a program that would take 4 minutes to install on your

- built into every net tool would be a good thing.
