Re: Off Topic: No DSL or Cable??

You know, it's really funny that you mention that! It made me laugh because
I actually spent a few minutes TRYING to come up with a place that would
NOT raise any quills. I'm not even sure anymore where Bulgaria is or
whether it even exists anymore. Maybe I should read more than the comics in
the newspaper?

Like I said, I love this list!

Thanks for keeping me honest.

Your "backwoods" reference to Bulgaria is really "backwoods."

I have a programmer who runs rings around just about anyone I know in our
"frontwoods."
