We now have an ntlworld account for dialup. The Compuserve accounts are now history. timill@cix is now a Cix Online account. Just need to establish the ntlworld account: the setup failed last night, and then, if it all works and I can make KA9Q talk through ntl:, smof.dcu will be history in a couple of months. Which should reduce my spam load.
In other news: Marcia is trying to shortcut the NHS by using BUPA - it's what we pay them for. It's still way too slow; when Marcia's father had his gall bladder give trouble last year, he went to the doctor in the morning, was operated on (keyhole surgery) that evening, and was home the next day (which happened to be Thanksgiving, a major public holiday). So far, after a week, Marcia is still waiting to see a specialist, after which (presumably) surgery will be scheduled. More pain, more lost time...

Best of luck with the doctors and the recovery.
Yes, private health insurance works well - when it works. Then, there's the fellow across the street from me, whose cancer treatment is no longer covered by his insurance plan because, a couple of months in, he's exceeded his lifetime allowance for Rx costs. And my friend who needs emergency eye surgery, but can't have it for another three months, because she has to wait for her new health plan to kick in. And ...

Yup. Painful, she says, and she has, inher foolish past, worked through a perforated ulcer because she didn't want to go into hospital...
