Sigh........the ancient AOL dial-up.............(I play Spider Solitaire, not Freecell, while waiting for Pet Talk to load )

I'm just too cheap to pay extra for DSL, and I'm paranoid about broadband because it puts you on a "network" along the cable route. It took us a year just to decide to spend the extra $10 a month for a second phone line so we weren't tying up the phone with our Internet - I have to be dragged into the 21st century kicking and screaming, I guess!
