    Thumbs up And at long last, my suffering ends!

    Got a mail notice from my ISP yesterday saying DSL was now available here in mild of nowhere, VA. Figuring this was some sort of perverse, twisted joke, I called to check. In the words of the immortal Kurt Angle, "It's true! It's true!" Service is ordered, they're gonna call me tomorrow or Friday to schedule the install appointment.

    Next to the time I had the 3some with two strippers, and the time I met Jerome Bettis, this is the happiest day of my life.

    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."

    Eh, the MP3 doesn't bother me...all of today's music sucks @$$ and I've got everything else I want.

    It'll just be nice to not have to wait 2 hours for an Nvidia driver set to download.

    Oh yeah, and I'll be able to go into hyper spam mode, and really keep NooNoo on her toes.

    The good news>>>>DSL

    The bad news>>>>>AOL


    (only kidding...I had AOL dsl for three months for free. They offered me another three months just for keeping it on my system. I refused.)

    Congrats Cobra!

    It should be pointed out that DSL is sometimes not everything it cracked up to be. There is DSL and something called ASDL (or ASynchronous DSL) The ASDL is often called DSL for marketing purposes and is much cheaper than DSL. For example AOL-DSL was actually ASDSL. It is slower than DSL and as far as my experience was concerned, crashed and slowed down my computer more often than it was worth.

    I would check out this page for more info:

    http://www.dslreports.com/

    to find out what other consumers have to say about a particular DSL service. You may want to upgrade to Broadband when it becomes availabe.

    I'm with a smaller, local ISP, and I've used their DSL service at several locations. No complaints, and it's a world of difference from dial-up.
