whelp. after 15 years of internet, and 5 years of online before the internet, and about a dozen different isp's over the years, including my satellite, and my now sort of lame wireless, dsl is FINALLY coming to the area.

i signed up today for a 3 mbps, static ip, dsl line today. is supposed to arrive sept 8th, just in time for new christmas games this puppy is supposed to be 384 KB/s up, and 384 KB/s down. can you say, 'server' :) so, i'm getting my x-mas present early this year

and, having just filled up a 40 gig partition with downloads, and adding a 120 gig external back-up drive, i'm now ready to once again go shopping for a new computer. also got a new photo quality printer to go with all this. hmmm, maybe i shld open an internet cafe out in here in the boonies. let all the cows and hogs come download their emails :)
