...I am still on dial up connection to internet.

You're kidding! You have the patience of a saint to search for and find all these great articles and then post them for us!

We should all chip in to get you a high speed connection.

Hey, now don’t put down that old dial-up...

My first connection to the internet was at 300 baud. I could read each word as it came up!!!

I fired Comcast last year when they tried to jack up the high speed internet/TV rates around here. Actually, I was ticked that they raised the rates and would not put Fox Business channel on, and didn’t care that I did not want and would not pay for MTV, BET, 24-7 Øbama channel, etc. So, I fired them and went back to 56k dial-up.

Capitalism at work!!!!!

Let’s see, the savings bought all my seeds for this year, and paid the chicken feed for 3 months. Sounds reasonable to me... LOL gives me more ‘thinking time’ while waiting...

I cuss a lot.

From what I see, around here, to get a better internet connection, I need to sign up for a tv/internet package and I don’t want to own a tv.

I am getting on with 45.2 and do the best that I can, but can’t see video’s, that is a night mare and I loose control waiting for the next 30 seconds to load.

Hey it works....but thanks for the kind thoughts.
