Hooray --- Dsl

Been slogging along at 28.8 or less forever. Heck I can remember when 300 baud was standard. That will change for me in a couple of weeks, however, when I hook up to 256 kbps DSL. There's faster service around but the difference between that is going to be great. As you dial-up folks know, you gotta be careful about clicking onan RFF thread with 200 responses. It might not show up on the screen until after your funeral.
Anyway, I about to be a happier camper and probably will be more productive at work, too🙂

Happy surfing !!

Finally got DSL here at home about three months ago -- it took me all of about 15 minutes to become completely spoiled by it!!! I have a construction project going and only dial-up is available on-site, it's better than nothing...(I remember when we use to build houses without computers😀)

Back when Commodore PETs were in vogue, I was considered a genius when I wrote a program in BASIC to transfer obituaries from mortuaries to a newspaper mini computer -- 300 baud -- one character at a time and the timing routines had to be different for virtually every computer. But a funeral director gave me a bottle of Jack Daniels for my trouble.

Problem is... now *bay becomes way too accesible with a broadband connection.

OH BOY! Your high speed internet addiction or "HI SIAD" as we like to call it is on it's way. And as for being productive in a working environment....GOOD LUCK, now the almighty E$$$ will truly become a 4 letter word.
