Yes its a Religious Org.,I used to have dialup full internet for years, 
(live in the Rocky mountains of Colorado. (96-9800 ft ) we were the last to 
get rid of party line phones,last to get cell service, 1 mile from highway 
but couldnt get dsl,Sattelite cost prohibitive for household 
use,etc....started with compuserve,AOL,MSN (Yuck to all) then had regular 
ISP for awhile.
But as of right now i have E-mail only :(
working on getting DSL at my new house. but still alot of junk on  (WWW) i 
could live without.
looking at getting bigger HD,maybe a terrabyte or 2 to mirror or Rsync i 
guess.
  Thanks to those who tried to help. (ill try to read up on TAR. )  :)
