Tom, you are so urban, it is obvious you know little about rural living. My rural Virginia town, Middleburg, has municipal utilities. I live in town and use them. It also has a utility building for telephone. So I have DSL and could also use cable. Walmart is about 30 minutes away; which is

I too live in the country and my answers would be the same as Steve's with the exception that we have geothermal instead of a heat pump (we also heat with wood). We are also fortunate enough to have DSL service, so we don't have to use satellite service for the internet (we do use it for TV).

Not so flattering in business, especially when the larger competitor does it. M$ also seem to be increasing their copying of Apple. Copying Apple for Windows (admitting this just gat a VP slapped-down), Zune, Stores. I would not be surprised to see Ballmer imitating Jobs' attire. If Apple
