I don't even have municipal water. When the power goes out, it's back to the 13th century.

That's so sick.

I live in Hawaii and pretty much thru most of the 90's all you could get was dial up 28.8kbps.
I thought.. because I was told... that Hawaii, due to being 21hundred miles out in the pacific, that the cables were not laid yet across the pacific and we in Hawaii were behind the rest of America. We soon caught up around year 2000.

I think its sick that any place on the American MAINLAND should be stuck without any other option but to use dial up. So sad.
