Sheeez...maybe this thread ought to be re-named the "bash AOL thread" I have access to both dial up AOL and High speed road runner....never have too much trouble with either....additionally, although RR is much faster...at times, it isn't.......dial up aol seems pretty consistant with it's speed....but rr....sometimes blazing saddles, sometimes very slow......no problems with customer service on either...... Has anybody looked at the projections of what these slew of harry potter films are going to bring in....between revenue from to movie and all the other revenue they will make ( harry potter cups at burger king or mcdonalds and etc, etc, )...it is a very, very large sum...heck, I saw the projected numbers and whats funny is aol is going to make more on just those films then many quality tech companies earn all year long from their entire operations........in other words, This Harry Potter thing is supposed to be a huge finacial windfall.....and I must tend to agree...have not spoken to a single person that did not like the books...even adults....even my wife........I expect the HP movies to do extremely well and for aol to make mucho dinero on them....JMO......

searchnetworking.techtarget.com A server can have what is called a "static IP address", which means unlike your cable modem, which only has to be reset with the little button on the back to find a new gateway, a static IP address does not change. RR changed the static IP address without telling anyone, which would be like boarding up the front door of your house and putting the door on the side of the building and not telling you. No way into the house. You can check your keys forever and you still won't find the door. Time Warner owns Roadrunner. Two years ago I didn't know squat about any of this, and now I know a little bit, which makes me dangerous.
