followed by the dot com debacle yrs later, then the organized piracy of 6 years ago. Frankly, I saw it a generation ago, and decided then to Never get strung out on suburban "life." Either live in the country and make your life there with only occasional trips into the big city for a new pick-up or heart by-pass, or stay right in the middle of town where services are close at hand, and regular transport is at least practical. I've chosen the latter, but in my age am thinking the former.
