How long do I have to leave town to get "my" microscope? Does the two
months I go to Colorado count? If I stay for 3?? Just let me know and I
will <i>suffer</i> through it! Could I <i>move</i> to the eastern
shore for a couple of weeks this fall?<br>
<br>
How many Wi-Fi hot spots do we have in town now? Any besides S&J?
Every now and then I see calvert_house with their security disabled.<br>
or<br>
When Verizon gets their cable in town why not put the pinch on them to
give everyone a "low speed DSL" i.e. really fast dial-up. As all you
speed freaks know once you have experienced the difference there is no
going back. Verizon could us this as a come-on for real DSL or cable
modem or what ever.<br>
<br>
Yes I admit to being a speed freak. Remember back when the rovers
first got to Mars and first started sending those GREAT images back?
(Roland's science connection) I had dial-up, "that was fast enough."
One night waiting for an image of a rock to download, I figured it took
longer for the image to get from Godard (Greenbelt) to my house
(Riverdale) than it took to get the image from Mars to Godard! I
ordered DSL the next day. Have never looked back. Yes there is a
satellite dish in my future for when I'm not home, like any druggy
knows when your hooked, your hooked.<br>

<pre wrap="">One of our town-members (Roland Walker) has suggested to me that we
become a "Science District" here in Riverdale Park (since we missed
out on the Arts District bandwagon.)
We can advertise free Wi-Fi for all residents of Riverdale Park
(don't talk to Alexandria about this.)
Hey, I know! How about library privileges for all residents at the
University of Maryland libraries!
And when new people move to town: the town will give them their very
own microscope!
