Good. Moving internationally is a pain in the .... kneecap. Still can't find stuff. Boxes that were supposed to be put upstairs went in the basement. Boxes that were supposed to be in the basement ended up in the garage..... Pretty surprised at real estate values. Conservatively, they've gone up 50% in our area in the last three years. I feel for first time buyers. Getting internet was a problem. Couldn't get cable [bozos wouldn't even return a phone call]; couldn't get DSL [that was on the other side of the street.] Frankly, I was surprised that the other side of the street had it since we're more than 4 miles from the CO. Got 1/2 of a broadband connection, satellite. FTP transfers are fine; latency is a problem for http but not too painful. But I don't look forward to uploading to my web site at 50-60K, About the only good thing, is I should be able to avoid getting a land line and stick with cell phones. One more technical problem to resolve. Cheers, jttmab
