What is going to happen to them. I will tell you what will happen fap thats what. I got Fap once back in Dec. My fault. Since then listen to streaming audio, browse and search. I let the auto updates do their thing on a schedule. No Fap. |

HughesNet no longer has monthly caps. Instead, they have daily "thresholds" that if you exceed (or sometimes even if you don't), you are punished with speeds less than 1/2 of dial-up for 24 hours. The basic plan allows for a whole 200MB/day, but HughesNet's math seems off so most customers get scared around 150MB in a 24-hour rolling period.

said by challass : ...Don't know how big it will be but it is going to have about 100 fixes and other things so get ready for it and for the xp crowd your is coming 2008. Sorry to be the barer of bad news. I have a copy of Vista but have not installed it and likely won't until after SP1, if then.
Microsoft made Win XP SP2 available on CD for free, including shipping, and it only took a week or so for me to receive a couple of copies.
While it does not contribute to the fear-mongering, it would not be surprising if they did the same for Vista SP1 and the putative XP SP3, if that is what you are implying...
