Sheesh, not a single card or letter during my lengthy hiatus (9/07). :histeric:
It was getting impossible to log on with my crappy dial-up, so I've recently signed up for high speed sat service, so here I am!
Welcome Back!!!! :welcome:

What service are you signed up with and what does it cost?

Thanks everyone!
Koz, I'm using the system offered by Wildblue and Dishnet. Runs around $49.95 a month for the basic package, and $59.95/$69.95 for higher speed packages. The advantage of going through Dishnet is we can mail in our payments, as where Wildblue requires a bank draft or monthly credit card payment. As to the satellite connection, it works fine, but just like satellite tv, heavy rain/clouds can sometimes cause a loss of signal. Still beats dial-up hands down.

You're the guy that lives way out in the boonies somewhere aren't you.
I remember you left because the Internet service where you were was worthless.

"Boonies" would probably be a good way to describe it. :yup:

Glad you're back! Post some pics of that '79 again sometime! I remember it being beautiful.
Heh, I knew the feeling. I went with a wireless system that is available to me. Good to have you back.
