Dial Up = Stupid
I hate dial up. Dial up is stupid. Where I live, dial up is our only option. This is stupid. It is stupid and just plain wrong. It's wrong. It is wrong and it is stupid.
Oh sure, Yahoo keeps e-mailing me and offering me DSL service for $5.00 more a month than I pay now. And, of course, I keep saying, "Yes. Yes I like your offer. Yes. Yes I would like DSL. Yes. I would like to pay $5.00 more a month to NOT have dial up. I can afford your plan. (Remember affordability is a huge factor.) Yes. Please give me DSL because dial up is stupid." Then they turn around and e-mail me back, "Oh. Gosh. We're so sorry. Golly and darn it all to heck, DSL is not available in your area."
They must stop taunting me like this. Dangle the carrot . . . take the carrot away . . . . dangle the carrot . . . take the carrot away. Quit sending me your offer of DSL if you can't deliver. It's torture, I tell you, pure torture because dial up is stupid and I WANT DSL! I can't do anything with dial up. God only knows how many HOURS it took me to upload my four songs on my Myspace page. And I don't even get to listen to all the incredible musicians on Myspace. Well, truth is, I can listen to the incredible musicians in 2 to 3 second staccato, stuttery, halting, increments. And downloading anything? Pictures, Youtube movies, music?
Don't make me laugh. Yes. I hate dial up. Dial up is stupid.

It's much more expensive generally, but do you have the option of getting a cable modem? Dial-up in 2007? Ridiculous!
Remember the affordability factor, Barry? Cable is $$$$$$$$$.
Sharon, I SO HOPE that the Gods hear your wishes. I agree with Barry..."dial up in 2007? Ridiculous!" Yes, yes it is.
Like I said before, dial up is STUPID.

Oh and Barry, I left you a comment on your last post (over at your blog). You never publish them, dad blame it!
I feel your pain. I lived on dial-up last year in Spain and fought for hours sometimes just to post a picture or two.
You know how I feel about your suckola dialup.
I always feel for those dialup people that try to view porn. Can you imagine? Maybe it would add to the excitement to only see an inch every 10 minutes, who knows?!

Hey - I didn't realize that I had a feature turned on that basically "held" comments until I approved them. I didn't realize I had any waiting! I've turned the feature off, I think, so whatever comments you decide to post on my blod should be immediately visible. :-)
I'm always in dial-up hell when back home. I remember my first laptop having a 14.4k modem and how impressed with it I was. Then it was 28.8. Now even 56.6 feels like a snails pace.
Once you go cable you never go back.
You could always finance a cable modem with one of those nifty offers--I frequently get emails promising that I can make $100,000 a week from home! With that kind of money, you can have all the cable you want.
