Napster users...something to think about.

[algae]

FYI ... My friend has a DSL connection and uses Napster quite a bit. I think he has approx. 2500 songs on his h/d. Anyone who uses Napster knows that when you exit the prog. using the X command in the window, Napster still keeps running in the tray. Because of his always-on connection he was unaware that there were many uploads happening overnite, etc from his pc to the point where he exceeded his upload limit with his isp and got a bill for $300.00! It could have been worse but it's an expensive lesson.
I have a cable modem and am always reminding my kids to kill Napster when they're finished using it...now I have an even better reason.
Just FYI.

This person obviously wasn't thinking, this friend of yours.

He wouldn't happen to be from Palm Beach, would he?

I was going to question your friend's intelligence but locutus already did...

No DSL connection....always on making the risk even worse
