it's going to be lights out for the next several days...maybe longer. i won't know until monday whether or not i can get DSL at the new place (btw - got the keys this morning) and i don't have a dial-up modem in my box, so we'll see what happens. if i can't get DSL, by god i'm going to get some sort of broad band if it kills me. I AM NOT GOING BACK TO DIAL-UP!!! you just never go back, and that's all there is to it! so i'll be back sometime next week, hopefully!
