I forgot how crappy dialup is!
I had to scuttle my DSL. I suppose I could've demanded that Earthlink send a tech to check for a defect in the lines, but I just don't have the time off to do that. So I'm paying the reduced rate for dialup, which is financially much more pleasant.

What's unpleasant is trying to load a webpage with a shitload of bells and whistles, only to get a system freeze when my pipe ain't fat enough. Reboot!

Therefore, I PROMISE, with all my heart, to NEVER EVER design a webpage that will crash someone's computer because my code is junky, or the graphics suck more megabytes than Paris Hilton, or some absolute URI is calling a buggy remote file.

I only wish the corporate web geeks out there would promise the same.

Not everyone can achieve the beautiful simplicity of Halrloprillalar's website. Most like to tart things up a bit, but some tarts in the corporate world are puffed and transformed into big ole runny pies. Good luck with the dialup thing in our Brave New DSLville.

Broadband is addicting! I never realized how much so until I was forced to go cold turkey. I'm still twitching from the cravings.
