     	   Yeeeaaaay, Janina!   You Go, Girl!   Stick it to 'em.  I
	   have half a mind to complain to the FCC myself about the
	   three-times-a-week U.S. Postal letters from Verizon, urging
	   me to avail myself of the delights of FIOS.  They are, all
	   by themselves, keeping the P.O. in business.

	   Also: if you are still moving where you told me that you
	   were going, be aware that that community has a very active
	   computer association of some kind, and you may be able to
	   organize them so as to get the FIOS you want.

Good luck, and best wishes!
