   Spider's Web, eh?  Hmmm ... sounds bogus to me.  I mean, what kind of
moron can't think of a better Web page name than that.  Probably the

   In no particular order?  Talk about a lack of organization.

   Lots of Macintosh links?  That figures, now we know he's a simpleton.

   May I suggest WorldWide Access as a provider (welcome to plugsville)?

   Oh that URL.  I've seen it.  Doesn't look like much on a graphical

thousands of accesses a week.  I don't know what people see in it.
