Calc, just get Bresnan for cable and internet. I think they got a special running right now if you get both digital cable and the cable modem. My roommate has digital cable and I just split the cable line for my TV (no cable box) and my computer.
Bresnan works decently.

Yeah, the wookiee has 18 computers, but won't spring for TV. Go figure....

DARN YOU!!!! I called Bresnan to ask about their DVR and now they are coming on Monday to install it and digital cable. OY! It will cost me $10 a month more (thank goodness for package deals 
), so I figured, what the hey.
I think I will test the DVR on the OC....

lol, nevermind, I just went to double-check. I pay 30, she pays 65 for digital cable + all the HBO + Starz Channels.
The high speed internet was a special, I thought she told me she paid 30 for the cable.
So yeah, in total we pay about the same-- $95 bucks. and if you're paying that much, what's another 10 bucks to record all your favorite shows, really?

Time Warner is a ripoff. Road Runner my fanny.
We have Time Warner in Saratoga, and my mom has all that stuff. Don't let them rip you off by charging you for a wireless network though. You can buy a Linksys system from Best Buy and tell them you only have 1 computer now. Since all the computers will have the same IP address, they don't know any better. I know some people that got their wireless gear from Time Warner themselves and they get charged extra for having more than one computer.

Nice, but I bet you can't buy a 1300 sq ft house for 90k
. Actually, I can't anymore either...the housing market has gone up a tad since I bought mine. I can't afford to move now as the housing costs have gone up, but the salar hasn't

In 2000 i paid 81k for a 3 bedroom, 2 bath, 25 year old twin with central air thats near a major highway but not close enough to hear it. I was pretty darned pleased with that buy. Now these twins are worth 120k. And if i go 5 miles to the east it would be worth 170-200k easily.
Weird market

You beat me...BUT I am 1/2 mile or so from the mountain
. I think housing values in my townare going up at like 17% a year right now...that's why I can afford to move! A new 1600 sg ft house 2 blocks away from goes for 300k 
. I'd rather build an addition...

Considering i have a 35x100 lot. Im thinking an addition is out. And housing values here are just moving at to fast a clip. When the bubble burst there are going to be a lot of home owners who are used to moving but wont be able to. The markets so hyper-overvalued.
IM going to sell real estate. Bank the money as i get sales. Buy a plot of land 2-5 acres in size. Then drop a house on it. I need a bigger house now that number 3 is on the way. I dont really have much of a choice in the matter.
We have a lot of pre-manufactured home builders out here. And some of the two story ones are quite impressive. It kills resale but lowers upfront costs and I can specify whatever i want. Like having CAT6 in every room.
Although to be honest I keep thinking about moving to the midwest
