I think it's a hang up from the old dial up days when browsing the web was costed by the minute, and downloading from a news group took only a few moments to do. Nowadays, with broadband it costs the same whether you are on for 2mins or 24/7 but people like to stay with what they know rather than embrace what some of us see as better and more 'usable' technology. :-)
