Hi Dave. I wouldn't count on the DSL providers 
either. We were promised in October, believe it 
or not, and we still haven't got it, /and/ we're 
in the state capitol. It should have been easy. 

Anyway, I thought I should point something else 
out. If your kid has the old machine running just 
like he wants, you can speed up the reloading and 
resetting if you want to. We didn't want to do it
manually when we upgraded last summer so we 
ordered aloha bob's from www.alohabob.com and had 
it do the whole proces for us. Not a lot of people 
seem to know about it yet, but it works well and 
makes the new machine ready to go in a couple of 
hours rather than days.

Maybe that will appease your kid? That and an
internet connection, which, as somebody said, you
can get for free for a month or two or three... 
We get CDs from Juno every once in a while. 
They're free but there are pop up ads. Might not 
matter in the short run.
Good luck -- T. Astor
