As I mentioned earlier, there's no need to send me a DVD unless you want 
me to critique the overall process.  I don't need the documentation files.

Part of your CNN issue may be all the crap web designers and programmers 
put on a web page.  I don't think web designers and programmers give 
much of a damn about people who do not have high speed.  They just want 
to cram all that eye candy on the opening page, and people seem to thing 
the more eye candy, the better the web site.  Which, of course, is BS.

Even Apple is guilty of this, and I'm a Mac user.  All their fancy 
features are tied to the web, so I don't use any of them.  And 
truthfully, I probably wouldn't use those features on a personal level 
anyway.  I've yet to see anything "in the cloud" that I have to have.

My dial up isn't free, I actually have accounts at two places that give 
me access to the internet.  One via dialup, and the other is the 
satellite connection.  My original plan was to cancel the dialup service 
after I had the satellite service under control, but there were other 
factors away from the dialup versus satellite connections that caused me 
to decide to keep the dial up.

I've had the satellite connection for around 5 years, and this is the 
first time I've had my speed "throttled" back.  And, it's my own fault! 
  LOL  I downloaded a number of Linux .iso's and I knew at the 
beginning I might go over my download limit.

And it only takes time to get back under the guidelines I agreed to in 
the FAP agreement, and then everything will be back to normal.
