GARCIN: I "dreamt," you say. It was no dream. When I chose the hardest path, I made my choice deliberately. A man is what he wills himself to be.
INEZ: Prove it. Prove it was no dream. It's what one does, and nothing else, that shows the stuff one's made of.
GARCIN: I died too soon. I wasn't allowed time to - to do my deeds.
INEZ: One always dies too soon - or too late. And yet one's whole life is complete at that moment, with a line drawn neatly under it, ready for the summing up. You are - your life, and nothing else.

DSL changed my life. But then the last 2 months of my year contract, it pooped out. Speeds decreased dramatically, connection became unreliable, etc. SBC jerked me around for 6 weeks instead of just fixing it, so I got cable, which is even better (at least in my area). Its faster than the T1 we pay an arm and leg for at work, and to sweeten the deal, I got a $15/month discount on my digital cable bill too!

Re: new dsl....finally!
i've had a grin on my face for 24 hours now :)
i've actually had 'broadband' for years, but there was always some limiting factor that just kept me wanting. the satellite had crappy upload speed (though the download speed was faster than this dsl) and no port forwarding and had a limit of 175 megs per hour. the wireless, which i've had most of this year, also didnt have port forwarding, so no file sharing or hosting of games. so, finally, i think i've got what i really wanted. no blocking, great upload speed and great download speed and a dedicated ip for setting up servers.
so, the grin just refuses to die :)
