[BC] Doing remotes in 2007

[Paul B. Walker, Jr.]

Things aren't that bad here..... but any laptop for $200 is a piece of crap.
I bought a used desktop for more then that and it's crap.

I don't have the availability of high speed wireless around here. If i did,
the signal would be crap... cellular service ain't that great around here.
