   Unless you're moving huge files or doing graphics intensive browser   
   pages dial-up is livable. And while you're on-line no telemarketers   
   can call you.

   They claim from Lorton to Sanford - 17 hours (810 miles) not much more    
   than driving time --- once you get to the start point.

   I did 20 years herding tractor-trailer rigs and my mindset is still on   
   fastest or most direct routing.  Bv)=  I stopped to see the Grand Canyon   
   once. Big hole in the ground.   
      
    SH> BTW are you guys on fidonet from the internet or a BBS? curious   
      
   I mostly do telnet to a BBS. The only browser BBS I've found that works   
   well is http://bbs.fidosysop.org/default.htm even if the SysOp is a   
   wing-nut.   
      
   ... Windows not found.  Use Real Operating System (Y/y)? _
