I don't think it's the norm, especially in this economy, but
Yes, unplug and replug the USB. Win98 has a nasty habit of losing
USB-attached hardware. Remember this was the first WinOS to support USB,

prefer Yahoo because their maintenance (Yahoo Webbuilder) is idiot proof.

Several thoughts come to mind:
- Since the town may also have a website, it sounds like its not
unreasonable to have a web form on the site instead of any other email way
to get a hold of the government. You can put a CAPATCHA or other
bot-obstacles in front of the form.
- Route email through
- Route email through something like gmail, which keep up-to-date on the

filter out the junk.
I do this. Works great.
Note that Google bought Postini so you could purchase their filtering
services that way too.

Right. My point wasn't put a web form there, and you're fine. It was
put a web form there, but you still need to put in some anti-bot

Yes, but what percentage of the time do you end up having to return
electronic purchases made online? All this talk of reception problems,
maybe a need for a special antenna, possibly roof antenna, etc. makes me
