Actually Ben, at first glance I thought you were going to launch into a
"When I was a boy we had to walk two miles to school up hill both ways!" ;^)

It continues to amaze me how short people's memories are. It was not long
ago at all that an Internet feed of the speed you get from a cable ISP would
cost you thousands of dollars per month. Not that I am in any way defending
the AT&T/Comcast monopoly; I just don't understand how anyone can see a
3000% price reduction in the space of five years and wonder why service
suffers. Did "cheap, reliable, fast Internet access" get added to "life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" when I wasn't looking? :-)
I'm still stuck on a rather undependable 28 kilobit dialup. Nothing
better is available where I live. I would *love* the chance to complain
about how bad my Verizon or Comcast Internet service is. And I know I'm not
alone on this list in that.
