    Default Amazing Technology: What Else Can Man Accomplish

    I've just stepped into the 21st Century, it seems.

    CenturyLink turned up my internet speed to a mind-boggling 7MBPS. Also learning how to use a new Razr Maxx HD 4G smartphone. I feel sorry for those of you outside the Bailey metropolitan area that don't have access to the space-age miracles of modern technology available here.

    With these fantastic tools of the future in hand, I'm off on a new adventure...streaming video. At the risk of alienating the technologically disadvantaged among you, I'll let you know how that works.

    Sorry...you're wrong. Here, it's MBPS: MegaBailey's Per Second. It's a new internet speed classification most haven't even dreamed of.

    I think they gave him the "common sense" low capacity package. Do you really need all those MBs?

    Who knew Bailey was the technical center of the universe.

    When we moved up here in 1992 we were put on a PARTY line. 19-freakin-92 and they were still using party lines.
