I am only on dial-up, with all its frustrations and limitations, as that is all I can have here in the middle of the French countryside.

I know that those of you who are on dial-up will sympathise with me and my frustration.

Many of you are on broadband and have forgotten how slow and difficult internet life is with dial-up.

Perhaps you are going to be in the same boat as me soon?

I'm not wishing it upon you, but you may find this news article very interesting.

Sarah,

Thanks for the information.

I am beginning to remember what it was like.

I have atrojan virus which has slowed my PC to a crawl. I am trying to sort it out.

Tonight I had to revert to my laptopwhich is not only less powerful but I have to do my emails through web-based site.

With 186 e-mails I am cussing to say the least.

Happy Days.

Why dowe love these horrible machines anyway.

hello Sarah...thank you for the information...but I must disagree that we are going to go back to dial-ups on the internet.

About 3 years ago when I went back on dial up from Broadband, it was quite ok but this year when I went back on dial up for 2 weeks when I moved my home, it was a nightmare and so slow to be able to do anything.
I truely believe the internet is becoming near it capacity in many areas.
There will need to be major technology upgrades and many more servers world wide put into place to stop the speeds slowly down to a crawl.
