Grand pianos crash together

I am subscribed to AT&T’s @Home cable modem service. Apparently, all along they have merely been reselling to me Excite’s @Home service, and inflating the price to suit their twisted ends. However, Excite wanted a piece of that hot action, and AT&T wouldn’t play ball, so Excite stopped doing business with them. Result? I’m using dial-up.

I cannot overemphasize how much this sucks.

Fuck you, dial-up. Fuck you, giant squabbling corporations.
