That all depends. My SO is a bank examiner with a MBA. Although she uses XP at work, she hates it. Here at home she has an Ultrasparc box running Solaris 8. With CDE, Mozilla, Openoffice, and Wordperfect for UNIX she is quite happy.
I've had Qwest DSL since 1999. I haven't had any connection problems in the last two years, and very rarely before that.
I have an 18 system network with a/27.
Meanwhile, Ricochet is back in business and has lit up towns from Denver up to the south side of Broomfield. The $27.99 plan includes national dialup when out of the coverage area. Looks like a 256k connection.
Denver? Now that amazes me. Here in Broomfield, the lines are all underground and rotting. When I had Comcast digital cable it went down on a regular basis and had lousy reception. I switched to Dish and it was like getting a new television.
On DSL I block comcast.com since it only spews spam and viruses. My Qwest DSL connection and phone connections are extremely reliable. I have three phone lines, all of which qualified for DSL.
A lot of people around my area are switching to DISH.
Guess what? They were doing that back when Clinton was in the whitehouse. They got one guy who posted a threat on USENET from some college in western Mass.
As of about two weeks ago the State of Colorado is still producing licenses in local DMV offices like the one right here where I live in Broomfield, CO
Just looked through a bunch of IBM AIX related material that I have. I don't see anywhere that they are shipping AIX under any SCO UNIX related licenses or trademarks.
Here in Broomfield, north of Denver, Ricochet had already installed enough antennas to cover the whole city. They don't need to do anything except flip the switch back on.
I have DSL in Colorado from Qwest. I have 640/256 for $32/month. I also have an ISP who has given me 32 static IP addresses for $30/month. I do my own DNS, mail, firewall, etc. It is about as reliable as the leased line I used to have when I lived in Massachusetts.

Two of my systems here have 2meg ATI cards. Firefox, mozilla and openoffice all work fine. Not much good for mpegs...

The most densely populated city in Japan is Tokyo. 8 million people in 630 square kilometres (13,000 per k2)
The most densely populated city in the US is New York. 8 million people in 830 square kilometres (10,000 per k2)
The most densely populated city in the world is Seoul. 10 million people in 615 square kilometres (17,000 per k2)
In Tokyo we have 100% ADSL availability offering 40 mbits down

I own 35 acres in Costilla County, Colorado
I don't think there will be fiber there in the
near future.
Area: 1227 square miles
persons per square mile: 3.0
Looks like I'll be getting a satellite link.

That address is about 2 miles from my house.
Hmmmmmm.
You want 64 bits:
Opteron:
Linux - ready now
NetBSD - ready now
FreeBSD - ready now
OpenBSD - (I bet)
Solaris (I bet)
SCO (If they don't die)
UltraSPARC:
Solaris
NetBSD
Linux
FreeBSD
OpenBSD
You want it, you got it.

I guess I lucked out.
