Gregg, That might be true but I'm miles out of DC in VA. If internet access (and their rooms are cool too) is important to you* and for some god-forsaken reason you need to be stuck in this suburban hellhole for business, stay at Sierra: Hotel Sierra in Sterling, Virginia 45520 Dulles Plaza Sterling, VA 20166 1703/435-9002 or 1-800-474-3772, http://www.hotel-sierra.com/ Sampsa * I was seriously getting 14-20 mbps down. It's a cool hotel anyway, only problem is the bar only had beer and wine. License issue. Oh and it's in the middle of suburban industrial park hell - everything is fake and 20 miles apart from each other, and I have no car.

It gets better closer to NYC, by the time you're staying in a NJ hotel you're getting closer to your home's settings. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
