Sign the First: Our neighborhood has finally been wired for cable broadband. This is surely a taunt from the Irony Gods that civilization is going to collapse, at a minimum. Probably in sixteen days.
Sign the Second: My parents are talking about installing DSL. The thought of my parents having a persistent broadband connection is surely a sign that the Natural Order has been overturned.
Sign the Third: Well, if you hear rumors that my in-laws are considering broadband, too — dig out those Y2K supplies, find a fall-out shelter, and start reading your Bible, because the End Times will surely then be upon us.

The apocalypse is on the way.
Mom has a list of computer questions for you – including DSL! Their only concern is keeping their old address or moving to our domain.
Hey! Persistent IM with the ‘rents!
We could call them tonight and get them signed up before go arrive at x-mas
I think that would be a good idea.
Unless Verizon (?) has a really weird deal with their DSL, they wouldn’t have to change their addresses. But they might want to, so they could drop Earthlink (and attendant costs).
Alternately, if they want to shift over to an H-K account, we got a zillion of them. 🙂 And then they’d never need to change ever again. And if they run into problems, I could provide tech support. Woo-woo!
Or, hell, they could spend the $5 a year or something and register kleerup.org by itself, and then we could subdomain it to hill-kleerup.org, and they could still route mail through us without additional hosting. I think.
