And now I've been delivered to the hotel, where I've checked in and I'm about to go to bed.
And I've got Red Dwarf (with a laughter track, ugh) and Dr Who (Silvester McCoy and Bonnie Langford, ugh).
But I'm on-line, and posting in real-time.
Now, what about a non-contract dial-up ISP with a number which is local to the DC area?
