Huh, they're claiming Roadrunner speeds now... no need for a phone
either. Maybe I need to do the Doctor Evil thing and hijack a
satellite for myself. I had just installed FC7 from scratch and you
can imagine where my brain is at. Evolution just took a core dump too,
and I'm scouring the net for the fix at a snails pace. If I took this
amount of time looking for a good woman that would put up with me, I'd
be Hugh Hefner. <chuckles> Ric
