    Woo Hoo! Last night of dial up!

    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! Yes, I'll miss it - or, KICK IT TO THE CURB!!

    I went from dial-up to DSL and on to cable internet. High-fives for high-speed!

    Check it out.
    We'll talk to you in two weeks?

    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!

    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!

    My husband just called me, though, and they're most of the way through the installation. Real speed by the time I get home!!

    Dial up??? Yikes - I can't even imagine having to go back to that. I think I'd probably just give up using a computer if I had to face that again.

    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!

    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!

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.
