Irony

After vowing never again to be a customer of AT&T (see Mills of the gods...Feb. 3), my hand is being forced. SBC, based here in San Antonio, has been in negotiations for months to buyout AT&T, and the deal has now been approved by the FCC. Should be fait accompli by year's end. After much research, SBC management has decided to assume the AT&T name, saying it is much more widely known ( yeah, but negatively, IMO). So I will have to look at the logo every time I go to my DSL server - ugh! Ah, well. Maybe it is revenge, in a way. At least my terms have been met.
