Barry,

BM>Hmm: I think your dizziness wins over my gag reflex!  Immediate guess
BM>would be leaning back in the chair altered your posture and your body
BM>didn't adapt.

  Mine are battling for the lead. :P You want to hear a good gag??
<BARF!> :P

BM>Yes.  I'm thinking generally the obvious of a transaction did or didn't
BM>occur and normally could log back in and check transaction history, if a
BM>money transfer was made, etc.  ...eBay -- know they have auctions but
BM>don't think they have live bidding.  Suppose someone could try to swoop
BM>in at the last minute.  ..Ah! RPG - Roll Playing Games!  *Poof!*  Where
BM>did Queen Nancitina go?!

  I don't use eBay, and have basically gotten out of the doors on the
BBS...saving my time for just QWK Mail. I still have some message area
glitches to work out. I had to rebuild everything, as the databases got
corrupted.

BM>My guess also.  Ages ago when cable was getting in to the -- what is it
BM>called? Cable version of DSL -- market there as the 'warning' of the
BM>connection would slow down the more people on the block/in the area were
BM>on-line.  ...And I just checked: back up to 8Mbps.  ...Can tell I'm
BM>really concerned about the speed as the last time I checked was when I
BM>talked about it in an e-mail with you.  (FWIW last time I checked the
BM>max. rate level available here was 10 Mbps.)

  I've been with Xfinity (Comcast) for several years, and they beat the
socks off of AT&T's DSL. Every time there was a power outage or
lightning, the DSL modems got fried.

  Then, after they hung up on me in a call (this was before my Mom got
so sick), I swore then (and at them) that as soon as I could, I would
DISCONNECT ALL of the AT&T devices, and terminate the plans.
