Please check out Internet Essentials and even if the program will not work for you, help me spread the word. Thanks. Internet Essentials from Comcast Did you know that here in the Bay area, in cities like Palo Alto about 94% of the households have broadband. But in Trenton, New Jersey, and Flint, Michigan – where poverty rates are way above the national average – 60% or more of households do not have fixed broadband at home – that is, less than half are connected. That gap of more than 50 points defines the digital divide in this country. Source: Comcast   That’s why your help is needed to spread the word.   Marian’s Notes:  No Newsletter Next Week, What Would You Like on the Site?
