    Just wondering... We all put 56k warnings on threads with large amounts of images or multimedia content, but who here still uses it?

    I think you should replace the "milk is an excellant source of calcium" answer to "I have both broadband and dial up".

    We have 2 computers in our house, but they're not networked, and we don't have a router, so when one is using the broadband, the other will be using dial up.

    I crush all before me with my mighty 3mb connection. Which in the UK is fast, but everytime I talk to someone in another country, they either have much faster connection or roughly the same speed as me for much less.

    Obviously still have it for backup when ADSL goes down, but it is annoyingly slow.
