Powerless in Seattle

[Bill Campbell]

FWIW:  I'm no longer Powerless in Seattle.  The power came back on
Thursday afternoon, about 6.5 hours less than a week.

Here is data point for people in the discussion as to the relative merits
of cable vs DSL broadband connections.  After a major wind storm here,
many people are without cable while the phones and DSL are working fine
(and my TiVO on DirecTV satellite is also working well :-).

I don't know why we had no problems with our phone lines, including
our T1, when falling trees took down lines throughout the area, but I'm
not complaining.
