I believe the article on National Broadband Plan misstates the FCC
goals. They want the Broadband companies to make internet accessible TO
EVERYBODY either by wires (cable) or over the air (WIFI).
In other words, the long term goal is to make the internet like the
telephone: not only universally accessible, but eventually to become a

That's regrettable, but irrelevant. Your original post said you read
a WSJ article that was "about the FCC trying to force
people onto broadband by a new law."
That's just not true. You either misunderstood what you read, or the
writer had no idea what he was talking about. With the low regard I
have for the news media, I'd be more inclined to believe the latter

I don't know how many miles we will get out of them. They are all still
running fine. When we bought them they had approx 10,000 miles on them.
Hubby has typically turned each car over to one of the kids when it hit
160,000 miles. We are talking a 99, an 02, 03 and an 05. The 99 has at
least 200,000, I'm not sure about the rest but they are driven every day on

Hello everybody,
You must not have much unemployment in your area. We do. People
are afraid they will be out of their houses and apartments, and that
is why they do not try to get internet access where they live. Food
is important to most people.

I think it was clear enough, although I might disagree with the point.
One has to treat teflon (or calphalon, or those hideous induction
stovetops, or nice knives) specially to avoid damaging them but this is
a consumer education issue and a personal choice.
Same with exotic sports cars; you can't drive them 30mph over

This has been disproven many times. It really depends on one's typical
mileage. For low mileage drivers and those who value their time making
repairs at zero, buying used makes much sense. For high mileage
drivers, new can make sense. The costs of buying a used car every few
years soon offsets a single car purchase, especially considering new

No, not really. I was referring to new equipment and should have been
more specific. I take your point though. But, used is a problem for
me. In my state used merchandise is sold, by law, "as is, where is."
What you see is what you get. Great deals can certainly be had, but
let's face it; anyone who in 2009 is just buying their first computer

I always buy a small Subaru that's at least 10 years old. I paid $5k for my
last one 3 years ago. I only drive about 3k miles a year, so they last about
10 years. I don't expect this one to die for at least 7 years.

No, I was just sharing what I heard a guy tell the clerk. I was standing

information.

Actually the subject line is a good one. Buying a NEW car is never frugal.
The minute you drive it off the lot it depreciates by thousands of dollars.
We always buy am American made mid-sized sedan that is a rental return or a
fleet car. These cars usually only have about 11,000 miles on them are in

You're paying too much. There are lots of used computers available for
less that are available cheap. Or as a hand me down from someone they
know.
What would be the limiting factor is internet access. A monthly bill
that may be harder to scrape up the money to pay for than to find a decent
free or cheap computer.
