Guess his definition of healthy varies from mine.
Setting up NAS? Anything over USB is going to be slower than LAN, isn't it (which is still your bottleneck anyway)?
If diesel, there's some bacteria or fungus that grows in diesel fuel, they sell Diesel Bug treatment for it.

Wow, doubling down on your behaviour...impressive.
And you wonder why people aren't helping?
Oh, wow. Break up of Bell really screwed you on that one. (Not that I think the breakup was bad, it helped everything - just your local companies decided to take advantage. Which is funny, because they used to be related Business Units in Ma Bell, so the leadership probably all knew each other from working together).
Holy hell, wtf?
Some kind of special ultra-cheap local-only plan? ($12/MO was really cheap back then - I worked for a telco and that was my discounted employee price). Sounds like the idea was you would use a different long-distance provider.
I was paying 10¢/min to London in the 80's via Sprint.

I hope the company goes down in flames, with upper management losing their asses and getting sued into oblivion, with the staff below Director level getting control and all the proceeds.
(I know, not gonna happen, but I can wish, right?).
Yea, I have no issue with wanting to end a company.
A company isn't a person.
The same reason companies have marketing and PR: perception matters, a lot.
