It depends on your contract/market/type of plan etc. Even if you get free
calls, beware of other fees that aren't free (like pre-pay and roaming!)

Hahahha....sorry. Since Verizon has the best network around and you can make
calls on it where ever you are, why would they give you anything free. I'm
surprised Verizon has free nights and weekends.

Free to paying customers. Go figure.

If it's worth anything, if it's part of marketing, it aint free.

Duly noted. Just pointing out some of the negatives from Killer's
"wundercompany". As much as he touts the greatness of COmcast, he tends to
ignore thebad, which in some cases is way worse than anything the cellular
companies might do.

Interesting- substitute "Verizon" for "Comcast" and you are word-for-word
quoting the Killer. That would indicate that cable is indeed no beeter than
cellular.

That's why I said "D'oh!" in the next paragraph

And, indeed, Comcast *is* the largest cable system operator in the US. Don't
know about the best... but definitely, by far, the biggest.

Then you are saying nights and weekends aren't free with Verizon, right? How
else would some one get our free content from OUR network? If you aren't on
our network (Comcast) well then you can't get the free content. Hopefully
you aren't that stupid. Also, how does news casts and discovery shows in
anyway become marketing material?

Scott. I just had a revelation.

Phillipe used to troll the Sprint newsgroup and now he's crowing about
Cingular. Killer trolls this newsgroup crowing about Cingular. D'you think
they're the same person?

The point I was trying to make is that you're not the most obnoxious thing
on Usenet- close, but not quite. Phillipe is someone even you wouldn't want
to be confused with- at least you are able to make a very good argument for
most of your points. We can continue the back and forth pissing match or
not- at this point, I'll leave it to you to decide.

BTW- the setup sounds like a good one (except the PSB's).

Nothing wrong with my PSB's here. They're considered high end professional
speakers, certainly better then what you would find at BestBuy or other
stores like that. Also, a couple 10inch subs on the floor is a great thing.
I paid as much as I could afford at the time....maybe one day upgrade to
some kick ass B&W's.
B&W's cost as much as a small car though...

Small car or townhouse.
