[ale] [OT] rant - decadence in society - DRM

I have trouble getting through a 250 pg sy fi novel, mainly for lack of 
any large continuous blocks of free time.

(PS - If you email me and don't get a quick response, you might want to
call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
