John Hawkins’ latest list

Once again, I have been asked to render a submission to John Hawkins. My opinion of who the Worst Figures of the 20th Century were. I did so, and you’ll find my submissions to the final list below.

I know I missed a few, but I was limited to 20. Tell me what you think…

Good morning, I guess…

I feel like I’m not surfing, I’m slogging through chest-deep mud. But since the cut-off happened on Thursday, and it took all day on Friday to even get the dial-up account set up (my wife did her best, and God love her, she tried, but she just didn’t know which questions to ask, nor any of the steps taken to troubleshoot the problems).

So I can’t even research the other options (such as cable modem, other companies, satellite modem, or even buying a server and leasing a fractional T1 line). I can’t wait until they get the fiber optics up and running, though.

Another option has occured to me, and that is to get lots of my neighbors (who would presumably have the same probvlems that I would, since their DSL cable distances are pretty close to mine - for obvious reasons) involved with complaining to Verizon about how Verizon’s apathy is denying DSL to a substantial cross-section of the community.

Hey, what’s the worst that can happen? Verizon says, “No!”?

Be that as it may, I’m going to spend some r-e-a-l-l-y s-l-o-w time surfing on the Net. Thanks for coming by.
