I'm going to tag on to this thread and solicit opinions on net access. I 
canceled comcast and don't have a land line. there's a net cafe near 
where I work where I can get access for free, and one near where I live 
where the charge is $4/hr.

I don't care much about bandwidth. and if I need it I can get it at the 
net cafe.

it is nice to have access at home because I can look up stuff like movie 
schedules, and use the cta trip planner, and socialize on the newsgroup. 
otoh, I think my memory would be better if I didn't depend so much on the 
cta trip planner and learned the map of the city better.

I think it would be just as expensive to get a land line and dialup as it 
would be to have cable.

any suggestions for home access?
