Top Tip: Is cable faster than DSL? (Dec 31 2003 19:10 GMT) - I have neither cable or DSL, but the slow dial-up still. I can't get Cable and my ISP provides DSL but I'm too far and they won't extend it to reach me because it's too costly. Anyhow, I still keep an eye on the two internet connections and hopefully will be using one of the two in the next few years or so. I'm curious on knowing the faster one. |

True Believers Part 6 (Dec 31 2003 19:09 GMT) - Web MayfieldSo what ever happened to the Official IRA?By 1972 or so they had been eclipsed as the main IRA by the Provos. Their leadership was increasingly interested in the political approach to Ireland's problems and viewed the armed wing of the movement as an anchor that was weighing them down. Finally in 1972 they declared a ceasefire that has more or less held to this day. In 1974 some of the ones that didn't want to end the armed struggle split off to form the INLA, and a feud ensued for several months between the remains of the Official IRA and the INLA. |
