Bird there are lots of ISPs out there - I wouldn't waste my time with one that doesn't perform. I switched about 6 months ago and have not had a busy signal since. Yes, my connection speed is slow, but that is because of the antiquated phone lines in my little town.

Contratulations MChalkley on your anniversary. My bride and I had our 25th back in February. Got my first grandbaby on Feb 3rd.

Bird · May 10, 2000

Yeah, Alan, there are lots of ISPs, but nearly all of them would be a long distance phone call for me. In fact, until just recently when they expanded our local calling area again, friends who tried the only other ISP that was a local call told me it was even worse.

And we celebrated our 35th Anniversary 12 days ago.

Sorry this is late Bird double congrats-double congrats-double congrats. The reason for double congrats is that it's almost double as Mark. Alan L you get congrats and a half guess you can figure out the math. You guys must have some good women behind you thats for sure. Just don't let them read that part of the post./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Gordon, I think mine's good enough that even reading that wouldn't ruin her. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Alan L. and Bird - Congratulations on your anniversary, too! You don't see too many make it that long anymore. It helps to have a tractor to work out the tension with, maybe. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Yea she's a keeper. She even let me buy my new tractor almost a year ago.

Just after I bragged about my ISP the rascal was down tonight for almost 2 hours. When I'm at home I'm either on the tractor or on the internet. Boy it sure was dark out there tonight. Hope I didn't mow something that I wasn't supposed to.

Oh, and I forgot to send along congrats to you, Bird on your 35th. Besides, if I start splitting up my posts I will get promoted faster.

Bird · May 11, 2000

Yeah, I've heard that it helps if you have a lot in common, but I had to look around and find a gal the exact opposite of me. That's the only way I could get one with the patience to put up with me all these years./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Bird, I wouldn't have thought dumb and inconsiderate would be a good combination for a wife, but if it works for you... /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
