   Hello Tony,

   Perhaps as long as they exist. My first ISP was HCCnet. An ISP created by the   
   Hobby Compter Club. They were very tech friendly. But they were small. And the   
   small ones get eaten by the big ones. That was the end tech friendly...

   Perhaps. Trying to look too far in the future is not always fruitful. Yes, I   
   agree that in your case it probably makes sense to wait a while...

    TL> True.   
      
   So we agree on that. Good!   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
