After solving other more urgent matters PLEASE HELP those of us who have NO HIGH SPEED INTERNET services available!

My dial up is connecting at slower and slower speeds and I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! At least I have high speed at work, but jeeez trying to open pages at home takes forever! As if I don't have enough frustration in my life! Yes, I know you have much more serious matters and I want you to take care of those issues first and foremost!

And a word to those of you who post pictures without a dial up warning in the headline...please remember those of us who have connections so slow that we can play a game of solitaire while a page WITHOUT photos is loading.

Done with my slow internet connection rant - at least for now but I still need to run spell check and post... I may be in the mood to continue to raise hell about it by the time this posts!

3. Of course not...
that would be too easy of a fix :)

Actually, I need to have images enabled because I work from home when I am not working in the office. But great idea, I may try it, thanks!

4. You might have an old computer that is slowly kicking off.
Do you live somewhere that you can't get connected? I rearranged my phone bill and TV, saved money and could afford a cable line. None of my biz, I realize.
We'll chat tomorrow! :evilgrin: :hi:

5. Cable not available where I live, DSL not available, just dial up OR
Satellite Internet - which I will probably do sometime soon. The dial up connection sucks, my computer is new and fast, it is the connection speeds that prevent me from opening pages quickly.
