   You can go into a store and touchy feely stuff. But it's all through a   
   website and mail order stuff when you actually buy it. Well, it was when   
   I did it four almost five years ago now, it may have changed since then   
   I haven't recently looked .. the policies change on a yearly basis as   
   the company decides to keep switching vendors and what not.

   occasionally. Though I actually enjoy my job most of the time. I get to   
   demand things  from the phone companies and they have to comply .. it's   
   a great gig.

   I'm sure some of us in acp post and/or read those groups - I do not.   
   Mostly alt.cyberpunk is centered around the literary movement with the   
   Sci-Fi genre that calls itself "cyberpunk" ... William Gibson being the   
   foremost writer of that group, or at least most widely recognized   
   outside the acp crowd.
