Hey folks ---

	I'm leaving the "andrew.cmu.edu" cell of the Internet sometime in May
or June due to my imminent graduation from this hell hole I have come to
love so much over the past four years.  

	Since I don't want to miss all the exciting action that happens here on
comp.sys.next.programmer (Automatic Garbage Collection threads, in
particular...), I am planning on putting myself back on the net through
someone like PSI when I move.  So, I would like to hear from anyone who
has gone through this process and the main things I'm interested in are:

	1.  What service do you have? (SLIP, dialup, leased line, etc...)
	2.  Who did you get it from?
	3  Is it "worth" it?
	4.  How can I make this tax deductible????
	5. How "painful" was the process?

	Of course, #4 is the really important question.  It's the deciding
factor between $39 a month at 2400 baud, or $250 a month at 14,400baud.

	Sigh,  you know, you never TRULY appreciate something until someone is
just about to take it away from you --- and then you find out how much
it costs....

	Send mail directly to me at:

	dhoman@cmu.edu

	I don't want to clutter the board... If anyone is interested in a
"summary" of the responses, I will compile them into a file and leave it
at some ftp site.  (Probably sonata - unless anyone wants to volunteer a
site.)

Thanks a lot....

- David.
