For all you net-surfers out there, ask your cable companies for cable internet service-- imagine downstream data in the 200Kbps to 30Mbps (depending on service plan), and an "always up" connection! You'll never go back to AOL again....(Sorry about the plug, but I'm enjoying my job and the company immensely).
