[Cialug] Des Moines Area ISPs

[Jon Clemons]

I use Marshallnet because the poor owner
has a cardboard box home under the bridge
because Qwest charges too much for services:)
 To make matters worse the management at
InternetSolver quit throwing their empty pop cans
in the dumpster so his weekly salary was cut in half:)
