  Too true.  But in that instance, is drawing schematics really going to
be a person's first priority?

  Look, I'm the model for self-sufficiency and self-containedness.  I
host my own EVERYTHING here, I don't even use an upstream provider's DNS
servers.  I very nearly bought my own photoplotter (an actual Gerber
photoplotter!) because I don't like farming things out.  But at some
point, sometime, people have to be able to accept the fact that they can
rely on the resources of a network.
