I walked into the bathroom and saw a work of art. It reminded me of something Native American.

I have named it Dances with Turds.

Comcarp keeps doing a $19.99/month for internet -- good for existing customers.

At the least, that is a bargain.

$99/yr for full service. You get two lines of service (same number though), all the usual voip features and they provide you hooks if you want to use a voip device or have it link to an asterisk system.

it is prepaid for the year, though it's been a good service and i've been using them for a few years.

with the referral, i think i get a month or two for free... not even sure what they do now.

Hmm, I will keep that in mind. I think I'm going to roll home phone free for the time being. If anything I guess I could start using my Google Voice number, (XXX)4-MACKIE. :D

If you have any interest in utilizing a voip setup, you can signup for a free acct from sipgate.

Sipgate allows you free incoming calls so you can use GV to initiate calls and have free voip service.

A little bit of a hassle when you want to make a call, but it's free. :D

Yeah, that's a bit much for my wife. I used to have a SIP gateway running for some testing I was doing for a dual mode CDMA/WiFi phone that never got off the ground. Oh well.

I have done my investigation. I think it's the Thomson BE product that's being installed, but I was thinking of the innovative Y product that is probably DOA. :-:

I'm going to need to remember all this whenever I leave this job and move off campus. All of our utilities are included except home phone and cable. I have the lowest possible Verizon plan so that I can have some number to list in the directory and give out to people I don't want calling my cell - contemplating dropping it for Google Voice but haven't taken that plunge - and as for cable, I decided that that would be a monthly bill I would sacrifice in the name of budget-trimming. Between Netflix, ESPN360, the major networks, and knowing I could go to a dorm lounge if there was a game I REALLY wanted to watch, it has worked out fine so far...

I wish my sinuses would stop kicking in ten minutes before a conference call. :rolleyes:

Mackieman Jan 26, 2010 10:50 am

I am also hoping that this does not go the full hour so that I can grab some lunch. :-:

I'm eating my traditional rice noodle bowl at the moment - have to conserve calories for dinner.

You would be correct. Some people bailed early in the day, after they heard what kind of restaurant it was.

We'll he happy to go with you and a smaller group sometime, though.

And I also discovered that even though we bought the house in 2010 we can get the $8,000 first time home buyer credit on our 2009 tax return.

If anyone needs me, I'll be out dancing in the streets. :D:D:cool::D:D

Many congratulations!!!
