   Funny - but I think that's part of the charm of the Star Wars settings.   
   Even with the futuristic technology, things still move at the speed of   
   communication, and with the Empire controlling the 'holonet' the Rebels   
   are forced to do things like 'hide the data tapes in an astromech and   
   send it to find an old general who's in hiding.' :-)   
      
      
   ... Be alert!  The country needs more lerts.
