Don't tell Scrapps, today I drove down to the Twin Cities.
My brother got a notice on the door yesterday that my V.90 modem
had arrived. Picked it up today from Airborne Express, plugged it
in and it works great. At lake my x2 gets 31.2 Kb. Here it got
46.666 Kb almost all the time. My brother's ISP just upgraded to
V.90 from x2. My first four V.90--->V.90 ISP connections were 3
at 52.0 and one at 49.333. Wish I had this set-up at the lake,
would leave time for cleaning fish, not just catching them.<g>

Sales tax in CA is 7.75 or so in bay area. What is St. Paul

CA income tax is not low, either.

CA schools are not what they used to be

For the price of a Condo in Mountain View (somebody venture guess)
how much for a shacks in the sticks / flat in the city?

However, the cost of reaching trhe ocean is much lower in CA.
