1. The Trees should be kept equal...
By hatchet, ax, and saw. ;)

I'm on dial-up (DU, hmmm?), and I download a lot of videos. It just takes hours, rather than seconds.

6. thanks for the reminder!
I did search for Rush on there, but it was back when YouTube was brand-new. I bet there a lot more now. Thanks!

4. I'm on dial-up
So I never open a thread that is labeled video. I try not to even read the subject of the video, because it's too frustrating to wait.

9. Here's what I do.
I have 2 windows open. I start the download in one and while that's downloading, I go ahead and do whatever I want in the second window. Not so fustrating that way.

12. The Internets is unusable in dial up.
There is too much content now and dial up isn't fast enuogh. Increase your speed.

14. A professor once told me that TV discriminates against African Americans
because their faces don't show up as well as white people's faces.

Actually, I think it's light itself that discriminates.

I can relate to the dial-up frustration--I usually watch TV while online, so there's always video running.
