I'm moving this weekend myself
First time out of home et al, bit scary, lots of things I keep discovering I have to buy or do. A gratuity from a grandparent who passed away nicely takes care of the buying thing, but another day in the weekend would be great. One of those things to organise is Internet access. I'll be on dialup meself in the new place for a week or three...

Re: I'm moving this weekend myself
I'd recommend big pond cable - on balance was always great for me
AS you will know - Nick Andrew left Pacific a year or so after they bought out his zeta.org ISP service (the best I *ever* experienced & dealt with).
I have to track Nick & Masama down & find out how those lovely kids of theirs are doing.
Good luck on the move - I will seek to get the job 1st then the accom.
Cheers Doug

Know what cha mean
Staying at mom's with her AOL dialup account......
I ordered her DSL - should be here next week. Meawhile I'm hanging out days at the local internet cafe called, entertainingly enough, Paris on the Platte.
