Well, I was in Paris for 5 days.
What can I say - it was grey, dull, wet, rainy and the streets are paved
with dog sh*t !
When you eat in a restaurant (which I can never spell !) All you get is
absolutely engulfed in fag smoke. It appears that Parisiennes (is that their
collective name ?) cannot get through a meal without a full pack of 200
fags. And it it those unfiltered jobbies as well.

Paris in Springtime - don't make me laugh.
What a dump !

I'd rather have been working.

Norman.

PS, Get the impression I was serioulsy not impressed ?
I wasn't.

PPS. Any Paris residents lurking/listening - don't take it personally, but
Paris is not as 'romantic' as it is made out. Sorry.

Hmmm at least you get the meat but without the Greeks :-) That MUST count 
for something...

 For those of you who like me :-) here's my new email address as of tomorrow:
 
 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (DSL instead of #@!@#!$% cable)

what was the problem with cable?

 (Now all I need is PPPoE for the Q40 (and working with an Ethernet adapter ;-)

I won't expect any problems with it, in Linux.

  and of course shared bandwidth that from the advertised 1Mbit/128Kbit
 line speed gave me 10 days ago the AMAZING speed of 14Kbytes
 DOWN / 16 Kbytes UP... Yep and for all this AMAZING speed I had to
 pay 49$ a month!
 For the same price I get DSL and 1500 Mb/384Kb (max granted and I am
 far away from my Telephone company but at least speeds are consistent)
 One note for any of you that gets xDSL in Europe (I believe they started
 offering it in Germany the UK and Greece). Try to avoid the PPPoE
 protocol if you can... gives too much overhead :-)
... and ADSL in the UK will have similar bandwidth problems when it
becomes popular.  Our domestic implementation is 512k bps shared between
50 users.

The good part about xDSL is that shared bandwidth is on the backbone not 
the line unlike regular PSTN dial-up and Cable.

512Kbps tho is not much considering that my buddies in Greece just got 
1Mbps down/384 up (weird for Greece but true)

One for the FAQ list I suppose. I'm making progress but it'll be a while
