Michael: I'm "down" with you on this! Seriously, and kidding aside, I 
agree. I'm continually reminded of the opening lines of "Waiting for 
Godot": "Nothing to Be Done." I don't believe that, personally, but I'm 
still not sure how to get a handle on this one! Not to alarm the one 
working with NC Live, but what happens when costs and prices, and incomes 
get so low that the public sector that funds these type of services, no 
longer will/can? ...things like that!
