ya know I have a funny story about dialup and cable

when we first moved in here cable wasnt available and the phone lines are so dirty I could only connect at like 14k or whatever on a dial up

so I had to do something and started making phone calls
I arranged for a full t1 to be brought in to the house
the installation was like 5k and the monthly charge was like 800.00

and I had to wait like 4 months for instalation
I was despreate so I signed a 2 year contract

a couple weeks later I was talking to my neighbor and mentioned that it was very hard for me to work because of the dialup

well it turns out he's the vice presidnt of the cable company
(which I didnt know)
and had cable installed in my house the next week

3 months later the t1 got installed

I could manage with 56k, and I certainly would if it meant having a nice house in the country.

90% of my work can be done offline (in fact, I'd get a lot more work done if I couldn't surf or post on message boards...)
