Jeez, no activity on this part of Babble since October. Makes me wonder how many Babblers live north of 60. Maybe only me and Glasstech??? Although I think there is at least one other in Yellowknife.Of course, maybe there just isn't much to say?? Hopefully "no news is good news" applies here??? At any rate, I'm interested to know how many northerners now have satellite internet. That's what I'm using, and it works pretty well. More and more people living outside of towns or in the boonies are getting these systems, and it is transforming our concepts of isolation. Whether or not that's a good thing is debatable. Personally, I wish it had been available decades ago (although I probably wouldn't have gotten too many projects done or books read). Someone should do a study on the effects of the internet on northern communities and residents. Any thoughts, anyone?
