i hate comcast

comcast, no doubt as "a service to their users" switched from ATT's venerable old nntp servers to giganews. the giganews account is limited to 1GB/mo.

so i downloaded a couple of mp3 albums from my favorite mp3 binaries group, and by the time i'm done, giganews has sent me a "you've used up 75% of your monthly allotment!" email.

this blows.

i used to find cool new music (well, new to me) by just downloading whole newsgroups and listening and deciding what i liked.

guess that particular avenue of pleasure has been cut off (ooooh, fawlty towers ref. i rule.).

bleh.
