Didn't we have the same issue with modems and call-waiting?! If you didn't disable call waiting, every time your grandma called the house it would disconnect you and that 10 meg shareware game takes 8 hours to complete on your 2400 baud modem would have to start over. Thanks Verizon for taking us back to the 80s/90s!

Seriously.. no joke.. The day I decide to try CentOS for the first time because I want to get that Redhat Enterprise experience, this happens!

I think a lot of people forget about their public library. Everyone goes to Borders or Barnes and Noble, pick out a bunch of books, goes to the cafe, drink coffee, and leave the books in a pile on the table. Libraries usually have a lot of the latest stuff. I was amazed at all the latest DVDs they had, movies and TV series. The computer book section can usually be a little outdated but you can find a few recent titles. That lady does need to get out more though. 12 books a week since 1946!

I was making 60k/year as a "web jockey" in Chicago from 2000-2001.
