Ye computers arent the issue, but connections are, here in Australia they are ripping us blind of our internet charges, i pay $35 for 512/128k with 12gb limit
, Flynsarmy on the other hand pays $70 for 1500/256k with a 12gb limit. it is such a rip off. and the budget only goes so far. and for decent 20mbit connections u have to be closer to the city.
And ye i think it is possible to do this sound events with javascript, but really its a waste of bandwidth, page load times, and it would also be annoying i think, so personally i wouldnt use this.
And with that postable server status... hmmm another feature i wouldnt use often, but i can see the benefits, because u could post it on forums and stuff... it would have to be a image like the bandwidth graph... but i think posting the server bandwidth graph sumwhere else sends the hfs crazy doesnt it?
