My My it sure was nice to take a break, I hope you all had as nice a weekend as I had, Here we go again I don't understand the meaning of tourist I guess are you saying that we that live somewhere else are the ones that cater to the the "slumy area's". But on the other hand I don't really understand the point. I'm copying something below that relates to the question of e-mail sometime ago. It's a little late. Bigfoot for Life - the best thing since sliced bread. You can set-up your own permanent e-mail name, so if you change ISP's, your e-mail still stays the same. You can have e-mail forwarded to one/multiple e-mail addresses, filter them, set-up reminder e-mails for birthdays, etc, and MUCH more -- FREE and dependable!

Hi g, I'll give you one contradiction - for every one millionaire in Woodside there are two people living in trailers. I thought you had to be a millionaire to live in a trailer in Woodside. Wouldn't that add up to three millionaires for every person living in a stick-frame shack in Woodside? I believe it's called 'the new math'. Best, Ry

[If the costs are comparable people will opt for DSL. My experience has been that you can't trust the cable to always be on so if reliability is a requirement you must have a back up system. I do. How many other people will even attempt the hassle when they have a choice? ] I thought it would be appropriate to report that the problems AT&T/TCI were having with the SF Bay Area cable infrastructure seem to be over. The service has improved dramatically - both in speed and reliability. My cable connection has been down perhaps twice in the last month but only for a few minutes at most and the speed has been increasing steadily. The other night the connection speed was extraordinarily fast. I downloaded a test file at over 2 mbit/s; typically my download test speeds are around 800 kbit/s. Obviously I am extremely pleased. I've cancelled my dial up ISP and shortly the second phone line will also be history.
