I posted my pictures of my garden on my homepage because I know some FReepers do not have high speed Internet and all the pictures would have really slowed this Garden Thread down.

Bless your heart!!!!! I have to avoid high picture threads and posts because of my dial up connection.

I literally live on the wrong side of the tracks. My best friend lives 9/10ths of a mile east of me, on the same road and on the same side of the road. She has DSL. I don't. Verizon has not come west of the railroad tracks which are less than 6/10ths of a mile east of me. And they have no intentions of coming west of the tracks in the foreseeable future.

Sometimes it is hard for those who have high speed Internet to understand how frustrating it is for those who don't!

When my wife and I moved to Texas from Louisiana we had bad Internet withdrawal! Dial up only. And when Earthlink shut down the only local number we were using every call we were making was long distance. We decided to go with HughesNet Satalite for internet and cell phones for our telephones.
