I always get a kick out of the animated little logo in the top right of I.E.I can just see Gates and the Microsoft "geeks" giggling as they designed it;"The world revolves around Microsoft."

Actually Netscape started the animated logo and MS just copied them - the reason for it is so you think it is actually doing something when you are waiting for content over your 28.8 modem (the good old days)

LOL!!! My dialup is at 56. something or other these days. Wow, what a whirlwhind, LOL. Whew. Wish I could get a faster connection. The area we live in doesn't offer anything than what I have, that I can find. Freepmail please, if you know of anything else. First three # - 557 zip code. I've looked at cpinternet and satellite and whatnot; but I won't pay more than $22 a month, beyond the $22 per month ISP.

Last Visible Dog - I sure don't mean to ask you to look into it for me. I've done that already.

But haven't found it available yet in the northern part of MN. The one tech person I asked nearby, said satellite was s.l.o.w. Sounds weird to me, but what do I know?
