I am feeling *amazed* that, my internet service company actually *did* get me my modem today via ups. I am also feeling *amazed* that I was right, and the service to my house hasn't been switched on at the hub out front. (!)
I went through three tech support people, and it *seems* that sometime *this wedesday* (!!!) I may in fact get my ground dsl pipe hook up. Wow.
I *feel* a sense of wonderment at all the marvels of technology..
and how *simplified* my little life has become...no, wait - I *feel grateful* that the corporate blood suckers only tried to get me for two days of service, without having to provide the bandwidth...BUT - I will be in touch with their accounting department, to recitfy their greedy little *error*. Better yet, I will let my Trust officer *feel* gratified by the oppotunity to rip 'em a new one.
Then (drumroll) *once connected!* I can immediatly download Ubuntu linux, burn it to CD, slam the CD in the optical drive, and let it completely *destroy* winXP...and probably do a fine job as a web/internet OS running on a 30gig partition.
And *finally* then, I *will* have the ability to actually make use of this awesome site and resource that Anthony has so brilliantly put together...
Amen.
