  1. Re:What about thier Afterburner Stuff? on Microsoft Shuts Down Lik Sang · · Score: 1

    Tritonlabs makes the Afterburner, but Lik-Sang is the only place I've found that sells a pre-modified GBA case front that has all necessary cuts in place & dimmer dial.

  2. Re:What about thier Afterburner Stuff? on Microsoft Shuts Down Lik Sang · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure, but I pre-ordered one of those pre-cut GBA case fronts on Sept 17th, but I don't think Lik-Sang ever charged me. They were supposed to ship out tomorrow (Oct 4th). Hooray for Microsoft for making a legitimate, useful, rare commodity that posed no threat to it's plans for work domination impossible to find. We'll probably see them on EBay pretty soon for some ridiculous price.

  3. DSL through TDS Metrocom in Madison, WI is good on On the Reliability of DSL Providers... · · Score: 1

    in the last year, i think we only had a half day of actual down time. when our DSL modem got fried (probably from lightning), TDS replaced it for free. we've got 256Kb/s guaranteed with burst rates up to 768, and that's about what we're actually seeing. dynamic IP's, a limit of something like 30 concurrent leases, and no restrictive policies.

    the main problem with getting DSL is that the local telco's are extremely slow in giving control of the phone line to another company. Ameritech has almost all of the market in Madison & it took them almost 2 months to give control of our phone line to TDS.
