Best of luck to all of you in TX... but this Rita thing begs the obvious question: Given that we're heading into a period of killer hurricanes, why in the hell would anyone in their right mind live in Florida or the Gulf Coast? Geez, I feel for you guys that have to board up or evacuate 5 times a year.

I was thinking "why would anyone install Cat 5.. Cat 5e is minimum for gigabit and Cat 6 is much better"
I hope everyone down there is safe and well.

I'm still here watching the traffic and waiting to leave. I just talked to a friend that lives near me, it's taken him 3 hours to go 15 miles.
Richard, at least we get some warning. How's that earthquake prep coming.  EDIT: I wish Bush would open the south bound lane to go north, at least Louisiana did that.

Bought storm panels. Right now the 911 is parked on a stack of 4x8s. I really don't want it, but I would like to help someone who needs it. I've got like $300 in it.
