I'm never going to move again. I used to own a nice mid-sized contemporary home with everything I wanted (since my wife and I designed it and had it built). Now...I have a beautiful old carriage house in a great part of the city - but it's got more little things to take care of - and of course my wife isn't happy with any of the paint schemes - but since the house is in a historic district every major change we make (paint, adding molding/trim, wiring for a home network...) has to be okayed by a neighborhood committee.
But...I am getting a 10Megabit connection installed Friday - a new beta test for Comcast. Totally ironic - when we sold our old house the best part was me calling Comcast to tell them to disconnect. I've hated Comcast for years but I couldn't get DSL. Well now they're testing a 10Mb connection for 50 homes in our area. So I called someone I know at the Grand Rapids cable commission and I got one of those connections. :P Go figure. Well, I just wanted everyone to know I've not fallen off the face of the earth or anything. I'll be back in full force by the end of next week. |

Damn kids and your... bandwidth...
Anyways, that's a pretty nice connection you are gonna be getting, Audioyoda. What's the upload rate? This post has been edited by TWINE006: Sep 2 2004, 04:40 AM -------------------- You can win a thousand battles but you can still only lose one.

Yes I do. And TWINE006, who you calling a kid :huh: Anyway - just got it installed 30 minutes ago - WOW. Just a little fast - I'm getting around 9.2Mb down and I can upload at around 1.8Mb. Not too shabby. |
