It was as loud as an illegal M-80 on the Fourth of July.

So are legal M-80s louder, or less loud, than the illegal kind? I think it's safe to assume that _everything_ is less loud on the Fourth of July, because your hearing efficacy is reduced due to the relatively high ambient noise on that date. In any case, that's a very specific level of loud.

Hmm. I've been thinking about switching to Comcast anyway, and my laptop _is_ pretty old...

Huh. Every cable installer I've ever had has explicitly stated they are not allowed to make the final connection to the computer.

And how the hell do you connect coax to an electrical cable? How similar can they really look?
