  • (56k warning)

    Is there anyone even on dial up anymore? I always wonder this anytime I see someone post a 56k warning.

        Have you informed them of our current year? DSL packages are at a VERY low price now a days. Probably around what they are paying for their dial up service.

          Whenever I use it in a post title it's for those accessing MOL from a Blackberry, Sidekick, or via a broadband device on their laptops. That and the rare guy still using crappy dial-up...

              I once put swirls in my paint just to see what it looked like.

              I don't always detail cars, but when I do, I prefer Meguiar's.
              Remove swirls my friends.

                Guess I never thought of that. I monitor and post from my iPhone on a regular basis. But when I do, I stay away from the picture forums. I know it's not going to load fast enough.

                  Our area is very rural, 3 biggest county and only 45,000 people in it. DSL only goes to mostly town addresses and not the guy out in the sticks. I was lucky and got DSL when it wasn't offered the year before.

                  It's still out there!

                    DSL is not available everywhere. Some people don't have a choice.

                      What's this DSL stuff everyone is talking about?

                      I just got rid of a rotary dial phone last week - the phone company sent me a letter via carrier pigeon informing me that it was bringing down the performance of their 4 wire network that they desperately wanted to abandon. Something about the ticking sound not transmitting well over these new fandangled "fiber optic" light powered wires. I gave it in to the local telecommunications museum - some eight year old kid photographed it on their pocket phone and had it uploaded to flickr in about 10 seconds

                              I have broadband but waaaay out in the mountains where my g-parents house is, you pretty much only have dial up.

                              Oh, and there's no cell coverage.... unless you wait until midday and hold your phone up high and aim it towards town. Yeah. Rural.
