   Ah, yeah, I know that... My blog was once featured on Slashdot... had a   
   nice impact, but not as high as I feared.

   Believe it or not... while I have´t had any modem in decades, I now do own   
   at least 4 of them. Because I think it is important to have alternative   
   communication possibilities and not only rely on the Internet. Sadly, over   
   here in Germany all phones lines are now running on IP as well, so that´s   
   something I cannot control myself, but in fact I have everything here to be   
   able to communicate without IP connectivity. (at least for land side   
   connections, maybe I try to find something that works over the air as   
   well).
