Finally: Broadband for the Commodore 64
GP writes "Now even die-hard Commodore 64 users are able to enjoy the benefits of broadband Internet connectivity. A newly announced Ethernet card together with the Contiki operating system lets you surf the web, send e-mail, host web sites with the built-in web server, and soon even play LAN games on your good old Commodore 64! All this with a computer that is old enough to drink."

Well, duh. This _is_ Slashdot - where else would I we be talking about? It's not like this is Slashdot.eu or something. :)
Although every other story on slashdot is about or having to do with Microsoft, there hasn't been any mention of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation $51 Million donation to the NYC school system

Does anyone want to my buy share a get controlling interest of a nice little dot.com with tons of potential? email me, please, do something, anything. alan.carter@convea.com
Great, news like this today just hits home the problem I'm going to face next week.
I have to move. My wife has decided to move back to St. Joe Michigan to be with her family...so that means going back to the stone age in terms of the Internet.
For years I've had broadband...before Comcast it was AT&T...before that it was @home...before that it was ISDN. 8 years of living without having to go to Dial-up.
Now I have to go back to basic dial-up. Trust me, there is no other way...it's a wonder that they even have electricity in this backwards po-dunk town...much less broadband. It seems I'm going backwards in connectivity. I'm thinking of just giving the whole thing up as I just don't want to go back to waiting for everything.
Probably won't see Slashdot or any other web sites for a long long time. So to all my friends out there, farewell.
