[AT] Spam> Re: OT - Satellite Internet

[Larry D Goss]

That precise reason is why I bit the bullet and have contracted for a 
combined cable TV, DSL, phone service later this month.  For the last 
several weeks the AT&T line has been so noisy in the afternoon and evening 
that the dialup won't work.  Since I have nothing except basic service on 
the land line, the monthly cost to me is going to be about $5 more than I 
have been paying, but the convenience of the bundled service should be worth 
it.  I've been telling my kids (grown adults with families) that I am 
joining the 21st century.  But once Dear Old Dad gets up to speed with 
communications, they'll have to find something else to complain to me about. 
I wonder what it will be?  :-)
