Well, no sympathy from me, unfortunately. My father was a deadbeat who wouldn't pay child support until threatened with a bench warrant. (He had a new family, you see, and whether or not his old one could afford milk wasn't his concern.) I've seen him twice in the last 28 years, and the last time I communicated with him, he told me that as an adult, it was up to me to initiate any sort of relationship. I told him to go eff himself. Who needs a father, anyway, eh? I don't deny the impact having an absent father (as opposed to no father at all) has had on me as a social being, but what can you do. Life goes on.
My fiancee's father is a good guy, and for the first time in my life, I'll have someone I can call "Dad."
On topic: I've added a mysterious RJ-45 jack to my A500. ;-)
