i went to the library.
they have computers there. T1 connection.
and i read books instead.
yea... it really sucked.

if i got broadband taken away from me now... hmm... i'd just have to live without it i guess, and disable images...

yea... my parents just take away cable television. not broadband. don't touch the broadband!

library's do have good connections tho..
Azarel
|= I think I'm probably going to just live at my friends house when my DSL is cut. Heh.

I <3 reading books. ;p And the problem with the library & it's Twhatever# connection is that there are a bunch of computers on it so that it lags. \=

dial up aint that slow... it probally takes a good 5 mins to dload a song now.. and if ur listening to ASF's and stuff.. probaly just 30 secs... and streaming videos and webcams probaly take another 30 secs too.. a little lag but thats okay.

I'm on dial-up now, but I have a DSL connection on the other computer... we can't get a network yet because, all our viruses will go on our new computer (Unfortunately the one with dial-up.)

Why are you setting up a business network huh.gif Just set up a wi-fi one and preference it to no transfer without IP.

I still use dial-up but I have AOL 9.0..meh, not that slow if you don't count the fact that it keeps on signing me off every other day... _dry.gif

I don't have dial-up but I used to.
I remember when I logged on to the internet, it would dial numbers and make those noises.
And I used to "sing" with the noises it made, it was funny.
I entertained myself everytime I logged on.
Now I have some dsl cable stuff, I don't know.
As long as I am connected to the internet, it's all good.
freeflow
nope i have dsl now
i used to though
