 Posted: Sun Mar 11, 2007 7:10 am Post subject: The Great Nightmare of dial-up |
 |
|
| Lately alot of posts in the boarding world have had links to video's & yet I'm stuck on dial-up not having the patience of well over an hour to wait for the download, & viewing it for another hour. As a result I can't even make comments without guessing what the video is all about, that darn dinosaur of a dial-up is starting to become more trouble by the minute. :cry: |

I guess I could change it, but I really don't see a need to now, aslong as TV is still around! :wink: |

Ah, TV. lol, I don't watch much TV, spend way too much time on the computer for my own good.
These days I watch ROME, and my friend just got me hooked on the show Heroes, and I'll watch Futurama and Robot Chicken. Oh- and MDL and O'Reilly... but that's it. |

I guess we are going to have to wait for a couple of posts before stating an opinion, though it's theoritical in statement without access to the video's. |
