I'm hoping, when we make the switch-over to fibre, my inlaws don't follow suit. Mainly because if our service has issues and we need to deal with something from Apple, B&N, Kobo, etc, we can go across the street with a laptop and do it.

10c, pnut and mastodon are all I need at this point. Those and my private OpenFire server for close friends.
