Tempted to actually answer the question.
Instead, it reminds me of the one about the guy who goes to his doctor
and says,
"Doc, it's nuts but one minute I think I'm a teepee and the next minute,
a wigwam."
The doc says, "You just think your two tents."
I think that this fall, we should finally see the launch of satellite
based (DSS) internet connectivity.
Should be able to get high speed access at least anywhere in the USA
where you have a clean shot at the sky.
Unfortunately for me, I didn't win the 280 million so I have to remain
in town and life the life of a working slob.
