I personally can't stand geocities... there's some providers out there that=
are free, allow unlimited bandwidth (probably not, but you'd never get high=
enough to trigger an alarm with them), and just have banner ads (unlike tha=
t damn thing on the right side of the screen @ geocities...). I think Stas.n=
et was on, but they didn't like the DC when I was using them back in mid 200=
0... maybe they like dp3? idk.
