Not really sure what to think here. On the one hand I agree that since
the dbowner can load it at their leisure its cool. On the other hand I
wonder why we continue to add extra unnecessary steps to our life. Yes,
it is a simple step but it is one that doesn't need to be taken, so why
are we making people expend the calories on it?
