You are not the only one. I thought the same thing when my kids were a
little peeved that they didn't get the extra channels in their bedrooms that
the main cable box set receives. How do you explain to a kid that has
multiple 24 hour cartoon channels that "When I was growing up we had exactly
three to choose from. No, not three cartoon channels, just three channels at
all." They look at me like I'm dumb and go play a LAN game on the computers
in their rooms. Spoiled? Doesn't quite cover it. Is there a worse word?

Thanks for the laugh! It's good to know I'm not the only one

Google "cache cleaner". There are quite a few freebies around. One caveat:
Don't extract files ending in .u as this may cause a 'version mismatch' that
can only be fixed by quitting and removing the offending file so that it can
be pushed back down from the server.
