But it's the 21st century. Talking's out - comparing's in. I don't want to have to ask an ISP if they support REBOL. What I want is to Google for the ISPs that are offering the tech I want and then researching their prices and what others say about them. With ISPs though, you get next to no hits if REBOL's part of the tech you're wanting. And it'll stay that way until it's fully open-source. As it is, REBOL can't claim to being a net-friendly language. -- Carl Read.
