Broadband or bust
NYT has an article about people in San Diego who have had broadband for a long time and now depend on it. Duh. It is an absolute essential. We first got DSL in Seattle in 1998 or so and living without it sucks. When we first moved to Roanoke in June 2000, broadband was not yet available and I couldn't belive it - why had we moved to this primitive backwater? Anyway, Cox got their act together and I think we had it by the end of that year or early 2001. It's definitely an integral part of my life. What the heck would I do without broadband? Watch TV?
