It wouldn't surprise me to learn that the results were uncomfortably
close to the "real world," especially after spending part of an afternoon
with the friendly, local IP. Let's see. . . .all I need to spend is
about how much?. . . .and cable from tab A to slot B, right?. . . .and
monthly I should send along to the TelCo. . . .then, even I could click
on this, pull down the pop-up window, hyperjump over to the virtual link
site selection menu. . . .

Obviously, *exactly* what is needed to reach all those net.folks who
think (correctly) that $1,500 is a lot of money to spend for their home
computer.
