Yabadabba-dog,
Your a good person and I just gained more respect for you. (for your apology, not for ditching your dial up)
I have to assume this fellow is in some remote area without access to anything better, because, I thought I was the last soul on this planet to ditch my dial-up and what a fool I was for keeping it as long as I did.
I went from $19.99/mo to $29.99/mo when I switched to DSL. The time I have saved and frustration more than pays the difference. Now, Tim (tar42) my friend, that is a true "no brainer" if I ever encountered one :o)
Sorry if your stuck with dial-up, but it is a little comical hearing you complain about the site and then admit your on dial-up, its embarrassing.....just razzin ya!
Call Verizon, yesterday, would ya?
