CP, you have it backwards: Cingular (SBC, to be accurate) bought out AT&T, then took the AT&T brand as their own. I don't think AT&T (really the old SBC) is crooked, I just think the company consists of a bunch of different business units that can't or won't communicate with each other. I had some problems because I had AT&T for both local and long distance service prior to the merger with SBC. This resulted in a lot of unnecessary confusion as my local service was switched from "AT&T" to "AT&T". Several times I ended up on the phone talking to someone in India who insisted on trying to sell me DSL. Now I would dearly love to have DSL, but it isn't available in my area and AT&T has no intention of providing it. So every conversation went something like this:
AT&T: AT&T, how may I help you?
Me: Well, my long distance service quit working.
AT&T: Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Can I interest you in AT&T high speed internet?
Me: Can you provide me with DSL? The last time I asked it wasn't available here.
AT&T: Let me check....(several minutes pass)... Oh, I'm so sorry, DSL is not available in your area. But we do have AT&T High Speed Dialup available for only 13 dollars per month. Would you be interested in that?
Me: Uh, I think "High Speed Dialup" is an oxymoron. And I already have dialup for ten bucks a month. So no thanks. What I would really like is to get my long distance service back.
AT&T: Oh, I'm very sorry, but you will have to call a different number for that. But can I interest you in AT&T High Speed Internet?

Today's Featured Article - A Belt Pulley? Really Doing Something? - by Chris Pratt. Belt Pulleys! Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
