Thank you for your support Mr big city dweller... yes, I guess that's why i
have joined Farmside. Despite all the negative perceptions about 2-way
satellite (that have been holding me back for a long time I admit) it really
isn't all that bad. And I guess if I have to pay a bit more for broadband
than you latte drinkers, the flip side is cheap rates, less crime and fresh
air... not that I'm trying to start a flame war or anything...

I have indeed thought about working with my neighbours but unfortunately
they all seem to be luddites and don't care. Farming and geekiness don't
seem to mix very well.

PS I think you might be nearly as old as me Don... did you also read the
books about Farmer Dave at Primary School? Gee it's been many many years
since I have remembered them.
