@Work....the X factor in revenue growth. We never hear anything about the @Work rollout. The homepage suggests that availability is expanding rapidly. I'd be interested in any comments from @Work users.

An @home story: I called InterMedia, my CATV company this morning. Me: Are offering cable modem service yet? (I live in Athens, GA) Jamie: We sure are, but let me see if it is available in your neighborhood. What is your phone number? Me. 555-5555 Jamie: I can take your order now, but I cannot make an appointment. We will not be able to provide you service for at least 30 days. Me: OK Jamie then asks me about my computer, etc. etc. Cost $50 install, $10/mo modem rental, $29.95/mo service. 4 hours later: Jamie calls me. Jamie: Mr. DownSouth, we can install your @home service as early as next Wednesday, if you like. Would you like to make an appointment? So I did, but I have to pay Uncle Sam some big bucks. So I am getting @home May 5!!! BTW, the cable modem has three e-net ports. So I can hook up to three PCs to the service. To add more, I have to provide my own e-net hub. Exciting!!!!
