@Stay Connected！ Overview
Unlimited Internet Access？ Not！
Many netizens＇fish2＇ ； including myself； subscribed to a so…called unlimited Internet Access？modem dial…up plan provided by many local or national Internet Service Providers （ISP）。 However； such advertisement is often misleading。 Every time I left my modem connection unattended for a certain period of time （roughly 15 minutes） and walked away from my computer； the moment when I was back to my desk to get ready to surf the net； I found that the modem connection is dropped＇fish3＇ 。 Bad phone…line？ Maybe； but how it occurred so frequently with such a consistent timing？
I decided to find out what has actually gone wrong with my phone line by experimenting with extended period of non…stop net surfing。 To my amazement； never once I had a bad phone…line connection。
Another problem is even more irritating to me： trying to dial…up my ISP just to get a repeated busy modem signal。 Once I got a connection； I don want to be disconnected。 Ok I selfish； but I抳e already paid my subscription fee！
The truth Is ？Ok； it is time to check the Internet newsgroup for such weird behavior。 After posting a mail to the newsgroup； I got a few responses。 Many told me this was not the fault of my phone line though sometimes it might happen。 The problem is mainly due to my Internet Service Provider （ISP）。 They have limited modem port； ranging from a ratio of 1：20 to 1：40； i。e。 1 modem serves 20 to 40 subscribers。 During the peak hours； many subscribers have extreme difficulties trying to get connected： either the line is busy； or the TCP/IP protocol is not being established even after being connected。
Remedies
Now I got the whole picture。 Immediately I thought about remedies。 A sudden inspiration came to me one night： why not write a 〃hassle…free〃 program； place it in the startup folder every time the computer starts； and have it automatically placed in the taskbar （or tray notification area）？ Spice it up with some animation to tell me the status of the connection； I l never have to see a dropped modem connection anymore！ I can now surf with impunity with the utility working in the background to ensure I never lose a connection。
I have tested the program countless times running continuously for more than 24 hours without a dropped connection。 A user even reported more than 300 hours continuous online without a dropped connection！ Of course this program will not help if a bad phone line occurs or if you lose power； but this is rare； according to my experience＇fish4＇ 。
I hope that you find this utility as useful as I do。 Just a friendly reminder； please register this program if you do。 Thank you for your registration support！
@Confession of Cover girl
Choy Ying from Quinhai
〃Where I live in Quinhai province； there are not many people。 In particular there are not many girls。 Everyone here wants boys to run the farms。 Sometimes they leave girl babies in orphanages； or worse。 Luckily； my parents wanted me； and now I'm one of the few girls in town。〃
〃I'm not really a prostitute。 I call myself a playgirl； because I like to have a good time with men。 If they choose to give me gifts of jewelry or clothes or money； that's fine with me。 I'm happy here in my sung little bedroom； with my nice comfortable bed； with plenty of men to kiss my lips； stroke my breasts； and fuck my pussy； with its peach fuzz hairs。〃
〃Lots of men have wanted to marry me； but I don't want to get married。 All marriage means around here is hard work。 Women must fetch and carry and cook and clean and wait on me。 No thanks！ I like the easy life…and the way for me to have it is to have many boyfriends。〃
〃The men here all love me…but the other women hate me。 That's because I have a good time。 I didn't fall into the trap they did。 I love being a playmate。 I love sex； and I'm good at it。 I can bend my body into all kinds of wild positions for fucking。 I love to spread my legs wide open and kind of sit up。 This makes a cock go really deep into my almost hairless cunt and I cum like crazy。〃

Shelly Zhu from Jiangsu
〃The province I was born in is famous for its pretty girls。 Ever since I can remember people have been raving about by ＇fish5＇ beauty。 My parents saved up to buy me the right kind of clothes； and they entered me in every type of beauty contest they could find。 I won lots of prizes and wore the crown many times。〃
〃At first being recognized for my beauty made me happy and excited。 I loved hearing compliments and getting applause。 But in time the thrill wore off and I began to get tired of people al
