I have Windows MEand dialup too.
Open a second window with the youtube video, and go back to FR while it loads in the other window. It may take 20 minutes to load, but you'll still be reading FR while it "does so". Then watch at leisure. What a great idea...'think I'll do that right now! :)
Already do that with a couple things. I check in about four times in the day, but am out and about the rest of the time. Utube is not on my list of necessary things. But, it might be an important window on the world for others. That’s the way it goes.
