hmmm - but bear in mind that not everyone in the world is a super computer 
user either in terms of understanding what the technology is doing nor in 
the quality of their computers....

click.   click.   damn it - what's up with this damn machine - don't tell me 
it's gone to sleep on me again.   click, click-click-click, click.  For 
goodness sake why is nothing happening - I know I haven't got broadband yet 
but surely it should be doing something by now - maybe the link isn't 
working.  Click click-click-click-click-click-click-click.  Come on.   Don't 
just sit there blinking at me.   Click, click, click, click     Oh I give 
up.     Ping! - ah I've got email.......

ok  I'm a pedant but surely it needs to be much harder than 
just-a-click-away?  However I have to confess that although I've seen sites 
where MP3 tracks were available for payment I've never clicked on one! 
What actually happens when you do?    Sorry if this sounds stupidly 
ignorant - it is!  I have never downloaded paid music from a web site and 
have no idea how you pay the fee!    Replies had better be off- list since 
this is getting a bit off topic.

thanks
