    which is worse?

    Which would be worse?
    Losing your chipper and having to rent or losing your high speed internet access and going back to dial up or your local library?

    That would depend on the situation. If all you use the internet for is browsing arbrosistsite, then no internet would not be a huge loss. If you're using the internet to submit high dollar bids, you might react differently.

    Oh, come one guys. Dial-up is fine for email and most discussion boards. Video is the only place dial-up really lags very much.

    Actually, when doing research, I need to veiw a good number of pictures and some need to be pretty huge files to get good detail. Look at some of the big files.

    Take this search http://www.forestryimages.org/cgi-bi...=pine%20beetle, where I was dumb enough to search just "pine beetle" and ask for thumbs of the search results. The return was of some 431 pics that loaded faster than Emerold could pound a pesto "BAM!" with dailup I would not even think of that.

    Now here is a large file of one of those bugs I'm not hot linking because the dialup crowd would whine http://www.forestryimages.org/images...12/3225035.jpg

    As a member, I can get it at 3072x2048 - 1187k http://www.forestryimages.org/browse...=3225035&res=5.

    Oh and I don't have a chipper, being a subontractor, so maybe I should not even be replying...

    I will never do dialup again. When I cruise the net, it's common for me to have ten our twelve windows open at the same time. Cutting and pasting and typing and downloading files and all that. It just can't be done on dial-up.

    Those 97 windows in the taskbar don't represent everything that was running at the time; not by a longshot.  They were merely the larger percentage of graphical-interface items, the rest of which I'd excluded from the bar module.  There are currently 65 processes going on that box, only 4 of which are programs I'm displaying and periodically interacting with on the one I'm sitting in front of.

    The first thing I do when I check in here at AS is load every new thread in a new tab, then start reading them.  It was bumping 40 this morning, sometimes it gets well into the third index page count.
