Decided to chime in and check my lurker status. Been looking for a new Broadband deal. Will check these out. Thanks.

I'm still running version 5, the last non massive bloatware version.

Did a search on GMAC and didn't find anything so here goes: GMAC bank is offering the following money market account: http://www.gmacbank.com/todays-rates.do Only requirement is $500 Average daily balance, otherwise $5.00/month service fee, or $7.50/month service fee if you don't fund...

I got a remote car starter. Catch is, there are no instructions. I was able to find a wiring diagram on the web though. It normally sells for anywhere from $20 - $40. http://www.ioffer-autoparts-accessories...NTROL-ENGINE-STARTER-UNIVERSAL-3750465

Too bad they only make shoes for tiny feet. Size 13 and down. :( Great deal otherwise.

I'm trying to get this clear in my mind so as to better help you. Do you currently have DSL set up on a single computer? I'm guessing not, from your description. If that's the case, I'm also guessing you are trying to avoid buying the "modem" (actually not a modem, but what everyone...

Just to chime in my 2¢... Tape is still king. I agree DLT is the way to go for your needs. Your strategy sounds fairly good. If the data is critical, I recommend off-site storage of at least the monthly's and possibly the weekly's. Keeping a backup log book and signing it each morning is also a...
