Dial up bites!
Well my DSL has been down since last week. I was having FTE withdrawals so I decided to fire up the dial up modem. Needless to say I have read one thread and posted this all within about 20 minutes. 
I am sorry to say I won't be much help in over taking those Gerbil ranchers of the great NW. 
Atleast I have got some work done around the house and have also discovered that there is life out there besides the internet. I hope to be back up and running in a few days.

What
you can't have a life outside the internet!!! That would really bite to have to go back on dail-up after having broadband. Well do the best you can we'll put up a fight while your out.

My mom has Dialup with 28.8 access :-( I hate going there.
I have a 2GB wireless access to a network, and it is free becuase I maintain the network.
But I am just lucky. :-)

OUCH! I remember the dialup days, and they make me cry. I have the Roadrunner premium 8meg/sec download's. I do alot of downloading and things on the net, plus I have 7 computers running 24/7 on my home network and need access to the net for Folding@Home and my electric bill kills.
Crap its snowing! So much for Spring being here.

Switched from dial up 4 years ago or so and will NEVER go back. Finally switched parents a year ago and they love it. Hardly use it but they still love it.
I thought it was supposed to rain in spring not snow??

You guys are making me feel like a dinosaur. I'm still using dial up cuz the only other option out here is cable and I hate what I pay to *** just for expanded basic cabel tv without another big chunk for cable to the puter. One of these days I'll figure out another option. Flip, is a feed through a cell phone a feasible option?

Satellite's slower than cable and DSL, and last I heard, about the same price.
I don't like what *** gets out of me each month but I'd sure hate to give it up, and it counts as a business expense so we can get part of it back from taxes. I don't think I could handle going back to dialup....that would suck. I think I'd give up computers and internet completely first.

Well I'm still on dail up. I've been playing a little solitaire between posts. Pages seem to be loading faster than the fisrt night I was on dail up. I must say FTE is a a very dial-up freindly site compared to some of the others. Guess I'll have to wait for the DSL before I start frequenting the **** sites again.
