comcast came to the house when we moved and hocked up all the T.V's and 2 computers. My computer has a router that is from the main computer, but I'm still confused why I have to pay 40 bucks per computer still when I paid 200 bucks for them to install a router on mine and still get changed 80 bucks a month for 2 computers?

something doesn't make sense.

You and about 3 other people in the country actually paid them to do the networking, which is why you are paying per computer. If you would have done it yourself you'd be paying for your Intenet connection only.

Yep! I get to play in the dirt most days. Although lately the only dirt I've been playing in is coastal sand thanks to Katrina.

Great distance program. I'm looking into that myself possibly in the near future. I have no reason not to, my company would foot most of the tuition and costs. The only thing I don't have right now is time.

Well you have been hanging out in my neck of the woods then.

With all of you civil engineers hanging out here, we need to get some more mechanical engineers.

This world already has too many engineers. I don't think we need anymore.
