Dominokat posted : I've had a 21" push mower for ever. It took just over a hour to cut the grass.
My mom got me a used riding mower with a 30 (something) inch deck. It now takes me just about 1/2 hour, including "weed wacking."

Sennheizer posted : Go with a 33" wide area mower. The motor is double the power which means half the time to mow. Price wise it's like $400 for a good 21" mower or $1,000 for a 33" wide area mower. The wide area holds the value better too. I did our lawn with the 21" for the last 2 years and upgraded to the 33" this year. I've mowed the lawn 3 times now and it's way way way better! My mow time went from 3 1/2 hours to 1 hour 20 minutes. :)

So. My options are---
1) UP TO the Maximum of 50/5 with Time Warner Cable
2) UP TO the Maximum of 15/1 with Fairpoint DSL

Fios is good. But even here in Boothbay in the middle of no-where, I can get 50/5 if I wanted. I am content with 20/2.

Closing is either going to be May 25th or the first week of June, depending on the seller's readiness.

I've already checked with Verizon, and FiOS is available. :D

Nice hopefully he knows. :) We'll be going up to Maine as well in July. We have a cabin in St. Albans, ME. Not sure how far it is from the highway to Boothbay but we might check out your restaurant.

What part of the Cape would you like to stay in? Lower, Middle, Upper?
I don't know if PMs work now, but try to send your e-mail addy and some basic info. How many people, ages, what you want for accommodations, activities, etc. I'll try to help.

I have a lovely beach room @ $375 a night (weekends, holiday) but I can do $125 for an off-season standard room. Beach. I can help you find a good place for less. Or more.

I took the bumpy road to Boothbat Hahbah a few years ago and missed Dominocat by an hour. The Waitrons had nothing but praise and the seafood stuffing made by him was TOP-END!

Being "productive" is so over rated... :D

Yea it makes me look bad. They give me like 8-12 hours of work a week max so if I don't goof off it's hard to stretch it into 40 hours. No forums means I get it done faster then my boss knows I have nothing to do!

I think their other customers and potential customers should have a right to know if they just don't give a rat's white whisker about backups, backup power and equipment maintenance [not to mention the technical knowledge and/or competence of their datacenter employees].

This is a partial repost of something I said in another thread, but if I were Justin, I would have retained counsel and sued NAC for costs, damages and lost revenue, plus punitive damages for wanton neglect and false representation of services. What they did is simply unconscionable.

You'd have to scrutinize the contract that justin has with NAC, but I think it's pretty safe to say that NAC breached somewhere in there with this meltdown that will cost thousands to fix.

If nothing else, this should be as public as possible so the court of public opinion decides the value of NAC's services appropriately.
