>for Earthlink after all. Well, I just didn't want to move to LA/Burbank. I prefer silly valley.

>"Business Tech", which we've discussed somewhat on a.r.s. My impressions? Very reminiscent of an early NETCOM. Similar hardware issues; similar growth issues. Their new Windows/MAC access software reminded me a lot of NetCruiser. Their Manager of Network Operations was almost a clone of NETCOM's Robert Hood. :) But they had a lot of infrastructure in place, and appeared to be ramping up for their growth.

Yes, I did notice they used plenty of Hubbard's business tech strategies, and I know that at least a couple of their employees were Scientologists. But they certainly all weren't, and they did deny that they were at all run by the Church. By the way, they also told me the one person on earthlink who had been cancelling articles or whatever was warned twice, and then had their account terminated.
