exactly.  had to fight tooth and nail to get credit reporting agencies to
give you info on what they have on you - and i think you can only request
one free report per year.  and just try to get it corrected...  weeeee!

ob-linux: anyone tried lftp as an ftp client?  it rocks.  you can
put jobs in the background, limit how much bandwidth it uses, and it
automagically keeps reconnecting if it loses the connection (ie you net
connection goes down or you go to make a cup of tea between cd and get).
