Better numbers but still pathetic considering what we were promised and what
the telcos were given. This blog..is it counting as FIOS being available
the same way the government used to count broadband availability? If FIOS
is in one house in a zip code then the whole zip code has it even though

households would have fiber, it looks like we are sitting at under 4

years old. Try this:

If I were using a peecee and wanted to transfer my music, I'd probably
burn mp3s/AACs to CDRW, and import into the new music program. Or I'd
find all the music where it's stored on my computer, remove from
folders, and drag them to the other music program.
For encrypted music that's purchased,
Yes that one. I've got several friends who love this way of getting their
