<geez>I was on dial up for years and years and I watched more
trailers and short movies than I do now on fastish broadband.
Using dialup is strictly for mature people who preferably use
tabbed browsers, have more than one thing to do at any time of
the day and have some bloody patience. I would download 18 MB
trailers while out shopping or sleeping or eating or turning the
compost heap over! I downloaded a 128MB update for an OS
overnight. No problem.</geez>
