1. Where you been all weekend? We've had 100+ posts about this very
subject!

2. Unless you live out in the woods and have no other choice, I strongly
disourage anyone from using I55. They have a really bad track record and
I've never heard anything nice said about them, ever. Plus, I
interviewed with them 2 years ago and they didn't seem like a company I
wanted to work for.

Southern Star (local, email John Souvestre about it), Speakeasy and, um,
I forget who else seemed to be safe bets for what you want to do.
