n/a

My friend JMister has it and reported here on it a few months ago.



He still loves it, but has occasional problems with it. Note it's the older version, which DirecPC isn't making anymore. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you e-mailed him for a more long-term opinion on it.



When the competition between Starband and Hughe's DirectPC (if any competition ever develops) brings the price down on the newer satellite dual-upload\download hardware AND monthly service, I intend to jump on it with both feet.



I'm trying to be patient, I really am.

Hello Gene,



The reason I moved your poast down here is because we're trying to reserve the first three forums for PC problems and suggested repairs. The Poast Office is pretty much for everything else. But, it's really not a big deal. Please poast wherever you feel is appropriate at the time. We are still trying to figure out the best way to manage the forums.

No problem...better you than me trying to figure everything out and still not step on toes.

Gene,



I just realized that instead of replying to your poast (Aug 5, 11:35), I accidentally overwrote it. Unfortunately, the admins have the "Reply To" and "Edit" icons right next to each other, and it makes it too easy to make this kind of mistake. To make it worse, the Edit screen pops up looking almost exactly like the Reply screen, with only one button renamed.



Okay, that' my excuse and I'm sticking to it. But, I am sorry I stomped on your poast.

I live in city limits of LA, CA.  No DSL or cable broadband is availaible yet.  DirectPC satelite is.  Anyone use it or know someone who does?
