I am not sure why anyone would want to lose the reliability of good
old POTS phone service. In all of our hurricanes we have lost cable
many times, power a few times but the phone always works. The mere
fact that Sprint buried everything when they did the fiber upgrade in
the late 80s probably accounts for most of it but phone systems are
also battery powered. I have not seen the DSL go down for any extended
time either. Cable data was always the first thing to go and the last
thing to come back in any kind of disturbance. I have Comcast TV
service on a hair trigger right now and the first time they screw me
up the cable will be laying in the right of way. The "all digital
conversion" we keep hearing about will do it for sure. If I need a box
for everything, I might as well have satellite for less money. I find
I am watching more internet TV though. I got a P4 XP pro machine
several months ago for $45 from GearXS and it is connected to the big
screen.

We have the cable digital TV, but I don't see myself giving up telco
POTS for "cablephone."

I haven't the patience to wade through the satellite TV offers.

You must be the laziest fat slob in the world.

I find it humorous that he has to make up a story about his cable
service, to make up a story about a 44 page manuscript. Unless he never
sleeps, he has no time to write a manuscript of any size... he's too
busy posting on usenet. lol Add yet another lie to the long list....

44 pages. That's a loooooong jingle.

Recently you were touting your 20 Mb/sec DSL. Did you just switch to
cable for the Internet?

You dumb ****. My post had nothing to do with DSL or Cable, it had
everything to do with my 44 page manuscript. Why won't any of you guys
ask me about my manuscript.

Damn, I can lead you idiots to water, but can't make you dumb ****s drink.

You've obviously had a little too much to drink. Pickle brained
military man.

Actually, if he wrote that, I'd give him some credit. 40 years later, it
still works. It sure aint 44 pages long though.

Atta boy! Sticking up for harry is a huge boost to your credibility around
here. Keep it up, make us proud!

I have the utmost respect for anyone that can make a living with the written
word. Harry is not one of those people. He's a pathological liar, and I
don't believe a word that he writes in this group. He's been called out on
too many lies to believe anything he says.

Do you think that harry is not a liar?

No, but we do have a retired ad guy here responsible for one of the
"craziest" ads in tv history if I am remembering correctly. I will let
him chime in if he wants to...
