iVPN (ivpn.net) is worth looking at. I've been very happy with them.

Those were Now Software's halcyon days. The PIM kings of the Mac set. I'll bet they must have been guests of yours in those days.

If Amazon (along with other delivery services) can't even be bothered to take 5 seconds to ring your doorbell when they do a hit-and-run delivery...how can one expect them to take the time to deliver a package to a recipient's garage?

They don't stop renting it and decide to live in it; they take it off the rental market and turn it into an Airbnb "hotel" or wait a few months till the renters are long gone (not around to verify the owners moved in) and then put it back on the market at 3x the cost.

This is a common occurrence here in SF.

I was in the Navy at the time and had just finished briefing for a late AM flight and was getting ready to go start the aircraft pre-flight checks when the news of the explosion came on the ready room TV.

I kept thinking, "at least it was quick." It was only later the world learned they didn't die instantaneously.
