Re: the "me too" and non-tech messages....I get my internet at work - I
can't imagine what this would be like at 28.8. My heartfelt sympathies to
those on modems - you *need* unlimited hours.
Where are those darn xDSL and cable modems that the phone and cable
companies have been promising for, oh, 2 years? Not in my area.

This very thing came up on the mgs list last weekend. My comment was then
and remains now. That it is the offtopic stuff that gets us through the
long nights and short cold days of winter - when ever winter is - where
ever you may be. I can hit delete as fast as anyone and maybe faster than
most (well over 100 messages each am from 4 very verbose lists). And
thats just the total from 5PM to 8AM EST!! Let alone what comes in during
the day. And Monday?!?!?!?
Oh well this is the kind of message eric was complaining about.
Keep those cards and letters coming!!
