RE: dial up sucks (venting)
I hear ya bro, it's dial-up, satellite, or wireless around here. Know a few folks locally who have the satellite or wireless, and not one of them is satisfied with what they're getting for the $$$ at this point. Until those services improve in this area, I'll stick with dial-up.
Didn't used to be so bad, but like cayugad said, the graphics are getting to be more & more, & dial-up can't take it.
