Internet Connection

If my internet connection could be represented by a locomotive I'd say it would most reseamble a Shay or cog locomotive, maybe even Stephenson's Rocket but that might be too fast.[sigh] It's like a single GP38 hauling a 200 car coal train.

I saw that on the IC one time. It was painful, even if it was 2 old Geeps and empty hoppers.

As an SBC employee, may I humbly recommend DSL? Works fine, lasts a long time.

I had DSL with AOL and service provided by SBC.

I cancelled the service. If you can't say anything good, then don't say anthing. So I will stop there. [:(!]
