I am on hold for over a hour for tech support. This is beginning to remind me of the bitter days of AOL. Don't get me wrong ,I am still long on ATHM but this is getting frustrating! Their new 1.7 version sure seems buggy to me. oy Nitrous~~

If we like one solution why do we have 47 different kinds of cereal? People like choice. Choice creates a competitive atmosphere which is good for the consumer. People will choose that which statisfies there need with the least effort. The DSL provider that I am signing up with made it very easy. jb

<I'd like feedback from the thread on this: It's my opinion that the eventual "universality" of cable will be a signficant advantage in the mind of the consumer. People in general like to move en masse. They expect there to be one method to solve a problem.> <Camp one- Manifest destiny for ATHM. They are in an excellent position, at the right place and at the right time. In time- and they are working on the details as we post- their story will be known by millions and millions and millions...and millions. (And their story is already hinting at being legion in scope.) If 'other' deals need to happen, they will, in time. Credo: 'If you build it they will come.'> Think about it: If you build it they will come. And then let it really sink in, If you build it they will come. How many posts have we seen stating that DSL is the best? That dialup is the best? That once someone tried ATHM they couldn't wait to go back to dialup or to get DSL? I don't recall any. In contrast, how many factual statements have we seen that show ATHM gaining in popularity, in customer loyalty and in holding new accounts that previously had other providers... many. I agree, strongly, that cable will be that one for the masses. DSL will have a great run for the urban dwellers with good location, but a lot of Americans live in the 'burbs and cities served cable. I also believe that the cable guy, for two hours to the house, will be remedied for most within a year or so and that will up the numbers exponentially for ATHM. Others must agree with this as the estimates are for 7-10 million subs by 2002. I am bias on the positive, but not because I am a shareholder. Logic and the realities of the cable position speak very clearly. I get 'excited' with what I have found.
