I think really broadband is now just a general term used by the public to refer to high speed Internet access from home. As far as most people are concerned it really has no technical definition. Of course, I'm referring to people who think that you can't surf the net without AOL or Yahoo lol.

I agree. Now let's argue about what "High Speed" Means, heh.

I once had a 30 minute argument with someone who was convinced that AOL ran the internet. His proof? With AOL dialed in, you could get to the internet, with it off, you couldn't. LOL. It took me a while to explain it to him. I've had things like that sometimes. This other time, a guy brings in his computer, an old XT with a shot MFM drive. The Motor wouldn't spin up unless you rapped on the case occasionaly. I told him this. The only other thing I did for the guy was add @echo off to the autoexec.bat. For two weeks, he hounded me that I broke his computer adding that to the Autoexec.bat. He kept having to rap on the drive. I told him, go ahead, take it out of the autoexec.bat, but I'm not going to be responable for what happens.

Round about 2 days later, he rolls in and he's FURIOUS! The machine won't boot any more. Your Technician told me to take Echo Off out of the Autoexec! Now my machine won't boot any longer. My Boss turned beat red, ran into the back and started howling. Needless to say, we put in a new drive. Just to tweak the guy I added "Echo There is No Echo Off executing..." It must have been re-assuring at every bootup. hehe.
