Hi everyone,

I wanted to thank everyone for their responses about my question on
fiberoptics.  I appreciate the information from the verizon website and so
forth.  I talked to a guy again from verizon and he explained things to me
more in detail.  He said that basically the fiberoptic lines are brand new
and faster.  He said that I would then see faster connections and since we
have phone service through them I would get a $5 discount in my internet
bill a month.  So we would go from paying earthlink $50 a month to paying
verizon $29 a month.  It requires running a wire from the phone box outside
on your house to your computer.  It would only probably require drilling a
small hole in the house like they would when you get cable and so forth.
He said that it would take them a couple hours to do the work.

I have a question about unzipping files.  I was downloading some of those
games I had told the list about.  Some of them said that they would use a
zip program that I have and it would go into a certain folder.  The website
does not say what to do then.  I do not have experience with zipping and
unzipping files and so I do not know what to do now so that you can use the
games.  If anyone can let me know what you do after a file is unzipped in
order to use it I would really appreciate it.  Thanks very much.

Lisa
