    Speaking of Charter, how are they? Did you have TV and internet thru them?

    It was a nice day- surprised the cable didn't go out.

    Yeah, we've got their HD cable and High Speed internet package. We haven't had any real problems with them. When the cable internet was first available about three years ago we used to get regular outages while they were upgrading equipment, but it's been stable for at least the last two years with few outages.

    My only gripe is that the HD offerings are limited. You get HD versions of the major broadcast channels (ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, etc.), HD Discovery, HDNet, HDESPN, and that's about it.

    You think it's limited now... Just wait 'til you move to Craptastic land... Maybe you'll be lucky and Time Warner will have taken things over by the time you get here.

    Just got in from there... I was actually there on Saturday, and they scrubbed the launch 4 minutes before launch There was no way that we could have made it on the 4th; the bridge to the island we were on had 3-4 hours worth of traffic on it.

    You can almost see where we were parked in that video, it's just off the screen.
