Hey, I was in Outer freakin Mongolia (Ulaanbaatar) two years ago and went to an internet cafe to check my e-mail and they had DSL. Everybody had cell phones that worked better than my T-mobile service does here. Funny that a sheep herder in Mongolia can get DSL and we can't get it in some parts of the country here.

Hi captcruz -
It was no big deal - the forum loaded fast back then as long as people didn't have huge siggys and include 4mb of pictures.....
I went to cable about two years ago.
best regards

My first internet experience was in early/mid 90's at my uncle's house. I didn't get internet myself until February of 97'. Running a 28.8 dial-up modem on a Pentium 100mhz. Thought it was the cat's meow. Wow things have changed.

When I had dialup, I developed a lot of patience. Can't imagine going back to that though now.
