The compression technology behind V.92 seems to give a bit of a bump, ok if you live in the burbs I guess.

Fact remains that if your analog line is sh*tty or has plenty of static you are still bound to 26K-like speeds.

2 to 3 times faster than dialup.....I'm not sure how they could even mention broadband in the same sentence if that's as fast as it gets.....
The tools of conquest do not necessarily come with bombs and explosions and fallout. There are weapons that are simply thoughts, attitudes, and prejudices to be found only in the minds of men. For the record, prejudices can kill and suspicion can destroy and a thoughtless, frightened search for a scapegoat has a fallout all of its own for the children and the children yet unborn and the pity of it is that these things cannot be confined to the Twilight Zone.

Doing good..doing good. Getting married (again) in 3 weeks, will disappear in August for a honeymoon for a while, then come back in the end. Having a big SG bash at my house weekend after labor day, check out the stickied thread in the SG Teams forum..you should make it out. Going for a pig roast.

Work keeping you busy in the city?

Another "long time no see"...BlackSword..in the networking forum..just saw his name resurface today!

Very nice! I gotta check out that thread, sounds like fun. :D

Yeah.. Work slows down and picks up all the time around here. They've been doing lots of slashing too so I gotta justify myself to DA man for a minute, ye know.
