My parents do sattelite. It's not as expensive as it was five years ago but it's not cheap. Also, their upload rate isn't fast enough to support video conferencing.
Spike: Ladies. Come on in. Plenty of blood in the fridge, don't be shy. Dawn: You mean like, real blood? Spike: What do you think? Dawn: Mostly I think, 'Eew!'

Huh. Susan Atkins gave a heartfelt response but I notice she left out the part where murdering people landed her in prison. If you didn't know she was a murderer, you'd have thought she landed in jail 'cause she didn't finish school!
The only thing better would have been that an actual kid wrote the letters, and not a bored screenwriter.

Well, he's (supposedly) ten.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Ok, the Shapiro letter is awesome.

I like all of the letters. I am sort of annoyed on the letter writers' behalves that they were writing to a liar. I dunno, just doesn't sit well with me that the guy was acting like a kid. It takes the fun out of it (for me).

DH would love the Shining clock.
We looked into satellite internet before cable was available in the Adirondacks. The problem was that the upload speed wasn't fast enough for our purposes and there was some reason it wouldn't work for VPN connections which we needed too. I don't know if those issues have resolved in the last few years.

It kinda bugged me too, but I'm glad the letter writers have nothing to be ashamed of (well, I mean, in the writing of the letters anyway).

I see your point on the letters, javachik. And yet I now want to read all of the responses. I wonder if he had to get permission from all the suckers respondents before publishing.
