Central is closest to me, but I'm kinda in the middle of all 3, so any 
of them are viable.

Heh. Even though I work for Earthlink, I don't use them for internet 
access. :) I'm too much of a power user for what Earthlink offers, or 
atleast I was in CA. Being forced to use cable internet here in Atlanta, 
I had to relocate my server elsewhere instead of running it out of my 
apartment. Oh well. Now its got a 100Mb net connection. :)

Thanks. I've really liked everything I've seen so far. Its great to 
actually see real weather and trees that change colors. :)
