Hello Roy - 

WC>>> Cheap ADSL has arrived here and soon as I slap the hard
WC>>> drive in this sucker I'm going DSL. 

RJT>> Hope you're happy with msn as an ISP... :-0 

CA>> You've lost me. How does MSN become a part of ADSL in
CA>> Florida? 

RJT> That's who verizon is using as a part of that package
RJT> they're offering -- see verizon.com... 

OK. Didn't know that. 

CA>> And ... why would having Microsoft as an ISP be a 'bad
CA>> thing'? 

RJT> Because of the way they do things -- their inclination to
RJT> "bend" standards to directions that make problems for
RJT> those who are running non-m$ operating systems, for
RJT> example. 

I suppose that is true. I don't frequent M$ webpages unless
it's absolutely necessary. I _have_ found many that won't allow
the use of anything but IE. 

RJT> One that I just bumped into yesterday was emails
RJT> containing only HTML code, for one example. Them and AOL
RJT> are probably most responsible for that... 

Most email software I have used with Windows allows use of HTML
in email messages as an option that can be turned on/off. I've
never used Outlook for anything and have no idea what it can or
cannot do.

Of course if the default is ON I would guess many are unwilling to
search for that option and disable it. Women seem to enjoy
color, multiple size fonts, etc. and would not want plain text
only. :-(
