Incomm Data and US Robotics were customers of mine. They manufactured modems right here in the good old USA. I dialed into bulleting board systems like The Well in California, running up some nasty long distance bills. I also remember being on GEnie, Prodigy, and AOL when Steve Case went over the 100,000 member mark. I have an old AOL t-shirt from their road trip promotion days. What a pain in the ass those days were. Configuring your modem based on where you were dialing. Tying up your phone line for hours, and 300 baud modems that would lose a connection with the slightest noise.

There would be some exceptions like wars and natural disasters. Currently we owe over $7 Trillion, much of that to foreign investors.

Are you talking about income tax or property taxes and business taxes? It is very common to offer businesses incentives to locate in your town. It is all about being competitive.

Cook County Tax Board does not have anything to do with Federal Income Taxes.

The only roomy nightmare story that would get any sympathy around here is if it was a Cub fan.

This might help

The web cam has got to go. Gay or straight, that ain't working. The rest of the stuff is the usual rommy stuff. Believe it or not, and I didn't when it was explained to me, you are learning a huge lesson, even better than College Algebra. Getting along with a roomy that is 180 degrees different will help yoiu when you graduate. I think colleges try and mismatch roomys as much as they can.

I have a ton of respect for those guys as well. They could have shrunk from public view and sunk into self pity. Instead they worked to advance their cause and in turn, are helping others.

I remember as a kid learning that we lost at the Alamo and thinking WTF?! It sees smarter to Remember Goliad!

BBC Link.

I'd have a tough time picking a team in that Series match-up. I like both.

Go 'Stros

There was a month when he was with the Sox that he hit like .500 with a ton or RBIs and Hrs. IIRC he ended the month with a walk off Grand-Slam. I'd love to find his stats for that month, I've googled and googled without any success.

BBC Link Incredible player, just incredible.

I'm not a Doctor, but I watched Law & Order, Law & Order Special Victims, Law & Order Criminal Intent, CSI, CSI:Miami, CSI:New York, Mod Squad, Dragnet, LAPD Blue, Hill Street Blues, Kojak, Mannix, Hawaii 5-O, Cold Case Files, Adam 12, and Batman. Clearly this was murder.

Let's see some Michigan Ave. power shopper top that.
