Naa, since I sometimes play games from the shop here, sorting out what
ISP's to use is not OT :-)

Stay clear of Eltele, it's cheap and you get what you pay for, .5 mbit
line that's down a lot, and their connection across the Atlantic sucks
even more...what more can you ask for

Beers and cheers

Nascar 4 movie released!

Yes, I noticed the cars actually look like they are on the track, not
near the track. The movie looked as if I was watching TNN on Sunday. I
was very impressed. Wonder what CPU/Video will be needed to get good
FPS. I also hope it is an improvement on the Nascar 1 (2,3) sim that
has just had graphics rehashed for the last few years. Makes me wonder
what they could do with a IndyCar/Cart Racing 3. Too bad.
