[muglo] Re: Bell from Hell !! ???

Well, anybody that's still attached to Bell, get set for the next 
episode. It is kind of a side version of Star Wars. We got a letter 
from Bell today and reading between the lines, their internet 
connections will not be compatible with Mac much longer. In fact, one 
of their high speeds isn't compatible with Mac now.

So look at it this way. We're just a little bit ahead of our time.
