The game is called follow the bouncing web site. <g> I sold the Monograms
business and needed to move the site. Since I wasn't getting a free ride from
Monograms anymore, I went to the free hosting provided by Comcast.
The page is going to move again in the not too distant future. The community I
live in decided to pull fiber to every home. Wa Hoo!!! The rumor has it that
I'll get at minimum 100 mbps up and down to the internet. And unlike Comcast
they won't care if I host a site from my home. (they actually want to
encourage such things.) Did I say WA HOOO!!
