i have comcast that includes cable internet (and can be wireless), base line cable and all long distance phone coverage 24/7 for $75 a month. It was wonderful telling verizon to shove it, and get all three for so little. I was paying ~$60 for internet alone. Just a thought.

btw...you can still go to the cmu computer store (or pitt now) and get inexpensive monitors. educational discounts and all...
