[AccessD] OT: Personal Update

First of all, thanks to everyone who sent best wishes to me.  I had a ton of
email to go through last night, and I may have skipped some, so if I didn't
respond to you, please forgive me.

Next, we finished moving everything out yesterday, and began moving things
in last night, along with some things today.  Pretty much everything
'survived'.  We scrapped our matress and box spring (which we are going to
get a new one from the Red Cross), (my daughters was covered in plastic, so
it survived okay) and we scrapped our couch (only paid $50 for it, and my
cat did more damage then the fire! <grin>  However, a nice lady from our
church gave us a really nice couch, practically new.  All of the electronics
I have tested so far work fine, so that's a good sign, but my cordless drill
and several Versapacks ($10 to $20 a piece) were scrap from sitting in water
for days.  A few 'fragile' items were broken from the firefighters going
through our place, and a lot of photos and paperwork were damaged from
water.

We didn't go with the golf course place, but our new place is quite nice.
The REALLY good news is there is a repeater right in our complex so I can
get any DSL package I want!  (My place at the beginning of the year was
within 3 miles so I had 786k down and 384k up, then we moved, and we were
just outside of the 3 miles, and that limited me to 128k up (something like
384 down...).  I am now going to have 768k to 1.5meg down, with 256k up.
(SBC's faster upload packages get really expensive.).  But 256k up should be
a big help with the archives!

That's about it.  Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
