Yeah, but they're taxing the whole bloody phone bill! No longer is it just your long distance calls that get taxed, but it's also your line rental and phone rental, too! So tack another $1.00/month onto your phone bill for line rental tax (approximate for the Toronto area), plus whatever tax on your phone rentals. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- !
