[LUGSB] introduction and question

[Thomas Levine]

I think most people have either Earthlink, Verizon or Cablevision (Optimum 
Online). Out of these, I'm pretty sure Optimum Online is the only cable 
service, so I'd recommend that.

I'm not really sure what your area would have though. Why don't you ask the 
Stony Brook LUG?
