lol amy! the way you said it..

well, I lurk/respond by my pager and I would say it's a little bit faster than dial-up! the regular dial-up computer would download the exact sizes of (small/large/or even larger) pictures while my pager automically shrinks/compresses all of the pictures into smaller resolutions that this screen can read. (thank god!)

(but.. amy/nebo's utah photos was the only thread that frozen up my pager and had to refreshen the page 4-5 times to get all of the photos..whew!)
