Greetings, Rob...

 Rob Basler hastily said to Coridon Henshaw:

I actually considered taking Rogers up on the @home trial that they offered at 
the PNE (local late-summer/early-fall fair, for those who aren't local to Rob 
and me)...  However, I've heard nothing good about their service, or about 
their attitude to customer problems, so I've decided I pretty much have to wait 
for ADSL to be available in my neighbourhood..  Besides, I still need the 
second phone number for ZMH... :)
