Just a selfish little party -- last night of dial up, FiOs arrives tomorrow! As I sit here and, for the last 20 minutes, I've been "checking email" (waiting for it to load) - will I miss it???
You pick! :D Yes, I'll miss it - or, KICK IT TO THE CURB!!
I remember well the switch from dial-up to DSL. Congratulations! Enjoy!
I went from dial-up to DSL and on to cable internet. High-fives for high-speed!
You'll never want to go back!:D
Do before and after speed tests!!!

LOL, when I changed over, my head spun so fast it broke the sound barrier.
I was glad when my old comp took a dump..Now, I can watch videos without scheduling my day around the activity-I secretly coveted cable/high speed access before I got on!!
Keep a bucket and an ice chest full of drinks and snacks near by....
You'll freak out and not want to move!:D
We went from dial up to cable about 6 years ago...what a stunning difference! I went from seeing pictures load at a rate one would time with a calendar to nearly instantly. That was the most dramatic effect.
We do EVERYTHING at a rate you'd time with a calendar! http://bestsmileys.com/frustrated/2.gifQuote:

Dial up??? Yikes - I can't even imagine having to go back to that. :eek: I think I'd probably just give up using a computer if I had to face that again. :p
Congrats Maggie - you're gonna' love it, and wonder how you ever managed without it! You'll probably find yourself going to bed at a much later hour than you're used to - at least until the "new" wears off! :D
What's the verdict??? Are you kicking it to the curb?
What's the VERDICT?? It's at the curb - FiOS installed today - I'm loving it!!:D
Just wait until I get around to putting up the next puzzle. (Yes, I remember it is my turn. I just haven't had time to manage a puzzle for the last few weeks, but I'll get it up eventually!) You'll be guessing that "E" so quickly that none of the rest of us will have a chance!
I'll be smokin'! :D
Congratulations!Quote:

That was 5 or 6 years ago. :p
Have fun tomorrow -- zooming around the world wide web
Girl, I don't know how you did it this long! I'm on my cell now and it's still probably way faster than that. If I were you, I'd throw a huge party!
