Diana, Chill out! You take things to seriously.

You show me a *flat* $10/ month DSL connection (and one that is more than a short-term introductory offer), and I'll be the first to step up and say I was wrong, and you're brilliant. But I'm here to tell you that you will *never* find a $10/month *flat rate* for a DSL connection-- not in *any* universe. I haven't had dial-up in years, and would certainly give up using a computer if I had to go back to one, so it's no big deal to me. I just think a misleading statement like that ought to be corrected. So there. :) I will add that I have a lightening fast DSL connection here, but even so-- some websites that are posted here on this list are slow to download for me (not speaking of the two that were just posted, however). So unless it's something I seriously want to view, I know I don't wait more than about 10 seconds, if that, for something to come up. I move on (and I suspect others do as well). For those folks, I'd think about making your images smaller, or doing whatever it takes to shorten that download time. As usual, my 2 cents. :) On Sep 6, 2008, at 12:32 PM, Don Bryant wrote: > That all depends Diana. But whatever! Complaining about download > times is > passé.
