Hi fatima,

Long time no chat. This India is a huge dud. I've had a computer and DSL connection for two weeks and I've gotten about 24 hours total use from it all.

To make a long story short, the power cuts off at unpredictable times for unpredictable lengths of time (they don't have enough energy here in India), the monitor broke, the hard drive broke, the DSL logins had to be reset three times, each of those "repairs" took 24 to 48 hours for these weird, spacey Indian guys (who must be on drugs or something) to drive over a fix while the whole time they were just 30 minutes away.

This place is TOO bizarre, and just like Thailand, I'm bailing out, I should be back in the US on February 1st. I'm looking for apartments and jobs and stuff like that now on the Internet, and with craigslist.org, and Dice.com (a techy job site) and email and all our other wonderful American inventions, it's like drinking an ice cold glass of water in the middle of a scorching desert.

I don't think I'll leave the US again, and I'm going to become very active in promoting our country and our future.

BTW, that Iraq Progress thread finally topped out at about 2534 views or something. I'm quite pleased as that was just a dry government report, but I've seen people using the arguments from that report.

Well see you later, I have a feeling something on this computer is about to break!
