I finally got rid of my old 56k dialup today and cashed in on Broadband!
I got an ADSL connection with Wireless LAN so all the computers in my house are connected.
No more disconnecting when flopping quads for me!

Heh, good deal!
Sometimes I forget that some people don't have broadband.
lol yeah. Once you have it you can never go back. Ive had mine about 4 years I think and I would rather be kicked in the nuts than go back to 56k.
Congrats dwarfman.
You rock
Sweet! Maybe in 5 years you can get a DVD burner! Those things are wacky!
:D jk youll love it.
Welcome to the year 1998.
