    Maybe I could grow up like you and post the same one sentence post a
    thousand times in repetition.

    I think I'll take my chances and not follow your advice or your lead- it

    Yes I can see that. How come you didn't manage earlier. It wasn't that
    difficult. Was it? I mean to avoid posting in the wrong news group.

    You're making progress!

    Oh yeah...VoIp on a 30 Kbps to 150 Kbps connection.
    That has got to rock.

    Oh...and don't mention the 3G upgrade. That is NOT going to
