Back to dial-up, at least for now

The end of the world is near, I tell ya. I have dreaded this day, the day when I go back to the sloooooow 56K modem of mine. Well, it happened

. My DSL has been causing me troubles for the last 2 days (can't get onto many sites), finally today, it is down, can't even log on.
I had to take out my modem drivers CD and install them. Now I'm surfin' (crawlin' is a better word) through the wonders of the Net

Why, when I was your age, we used to walk the net at 9600 baud, uphill both ways!

Sorry to hear about that.

LOL, Good one JnMHayes...

I'm afraid to admit that I started out at 300 baud... uphill both ways!

could be worse. i'm curently stuck with a slow dial-up FILTERED internet provider. its about as bad i think as aol on 5year old settings. i'm luckey i can get to this site. but i'm getting cable sooon all sooo soon . but out cable is only 500kilobits downstream. i don't care i'm sick of filtered internet all beacuse my friends parents cancled thier earthlink account. damn them.

its very simaliar to the internet schools get beacuse it is only slower.
