I feel for you man. I was on a trip a couple months ago and I didn't have my fast cable connection for 3 weeks! And the computer I was on was a relic! I think it had a pentium 133 or something. And it was supposed to be used by like 30 people all this time. Talk about pain! I am trying to stay away from that trip for as long as I can.

Once you do cable, DSL, or direct connect, you never want to go back. Downloading a 5 MB file in 30 seconds really opens your eyes to how slow modems are.

You might want to read a book. It really makes for a fresh change after too much internet time. And this is meant seriously, although I must admit the way I put it it looks a bit sarcastic. Sorry.

RW: Gee. You must have changed in your absence. You didn't used to be able to make non-sarcastic statements. ;-)
How about reading a book on the Internet? You can get the best of both worlds. :-)

Fruity, you have a point. And believe me, if I could afford it, I'd have it. But then I'm not a very heavy net user, so the cost is not justified.
