Steve!

As far as the wiring - If you have standard telephone wiring, it's compatible. You don't need to pull off any wall-plates. As far as speed - well, I don't know. Zixar or HeGotHope might be able to better answer that. I had DSL for a year, and it kept cutting out unexpectedly, and at times it was slow. I have cable now, and have had it for 2 years, and love it. I have had virtually no problems with it, and have not noticed any speed problems. As far as distance to the switch - 12,000 feet is just over 2 miles. You *have* to be within 2 miles or so of a switch or you won't *get* DSL. Something about too much signal degradation. I'm assuming that the reason you are considering switching is monetary. Well, you can try it and switch back if there are too many issues. I'd get a guarantee or something from the guy.

It was great! It was just Pawtucket, Herb, and me. And yes, I got a rabbit, and brought it home for Katryna's birthday. It was delicious. Er, I mean, she went absolutely wild when she got it. It is a VERY pretty rabbit, and very inquisitive, and very affectionate, and very mellow - it didn't even freak out on the flight. It's a perfect rabbit. I wanted to name him Buddy Abbott, but she named him Roger.

It could be an ovarian cyst. That really messes you up. Perhaps it's appendicitis. Or hemorrhoids. Septicemia? Toxic Shock Syndrome? Rabies? Scabies? Mange? The only way to know what's going on is for you to . . . Raf knows.

That's just it, pawtucket, the emails were coming from people on Dovie's email address list, NOT from Dovie herself. Someone was getting emails "from" me, I was getting emails "from" dobbyisfree@hotmail.com, and there was a third person, I forget who, that was getting emails from someone else on her list. I figured it out when I get an email from someone on her list telling me that I had sent her a virus. She has a distinctive email address, and I remembered seeing it on one of the pleasant emails that Dovie sends out.

TS, do it exactly the way you see it written in the first line, with the quotes and the + and everything. Or you can pick a number from 1 to 7 and NOT use the + sign. You can try it without, too - sometimes it will work, sometimes it won't. But NO brackets - that was just to show that there are options.

Umm, perhaps not very many of you remember this, but in the late 70's and on through the 80's, there was a bible version called "The Way" that had nothing to do with TWIt. "The Way" was nothing but paraphrase of King Jimmy, and a hack job at that.

Well, that's kind of a shame. As a matter of fact Cindy! and I *are* looking for a rabbit right now for Cindy's younger daughter.

IIRC, Qamiqazi/Satori usually speaks somewhat in support of moderators/moderation of this board. Of course, I *could* be mistaken.

Update: it will be Westport, CT. Exact place TBD.

Pawtucket and I and ??? will be getting together this Thursday evening, somewhere in Connecticut. The time will be approximately 7 p.m. Herb, could you make it to, say, New Haven? Galen, are you out there? might you be able to make it?

It's been a while since the directions were posted. Usually someone will just post a question(like you did) and someone else will respond.

Awesome!! Sometimes you have to close your web browser and open it back up to see changes. But it looks green to me!

In my previous post, I left off something, use the following example to change your text to yellow and to make it 2 sizes bigger than normal (you can use a number from 1 to 7, or you can use -3 up to +3) <font size="+2" color="yellow&quot>then your sig goes here</font>

Let me see if I can do any HTML. Test!

QamiSatori, it looks as if you and Zixar have reached an understanding. This is a good thing.

This looks like it might develop into a really fun series. It's a spinoff of Stargate, of course. The first episode was last Friday night on the SciFi channel, and they spent a lot of time laying a foundation. I'm hoping it lives up to its promise!

Well, it might not be. I received an email from someone named Myrna who said she received an email virus from me. As far as I can tell, among the several people who's email addresses are involved, you are a common denominator. There may be someone else that is also a common denominator, I'm not sure. I'll keep looking.

I don't know, but are you aware that you have at least one nasty virus on your computer? It keeps sending out emails "from" me, and "from" at least one other (former) gspotter.

The signature is in MySpace, in your profile - edit your profile. Click "Go", "MySpace", "Profile", "Edit Profile", and then you can change your sig. To change the font, use the following constructs: <font size=[1-7 (pick a number)] color=[whatever color - "crap" is a color, try it!]>then the stuff you wanna type then</font> and right before all of that do <i> and after all of that do </i> to do italics, "b" instead of "i" for bold.

Exie, I think it was pretty much designed with you in mind . . . ;)-->

Well, you know the difference between "kinky" and "perverted", right? Kinky's when you use a feather. Perverted's when you use a whole chicken.

Oh, we will definitely be getting together. It's not quite set exactly where, but it will be close by.

OOH, yeah, Jim! that would be kewl!

The way that you grow mushrooms is: feed them horse.... and keep them in the dark.
