Pity that many folks don't yet have that option. I'm spoiled at work where our connection is a T3 or something along those lines. Pages load in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, my RoadRunner is slow...folks tell me that I'm probably on a congested mode and I do live in the most densely populated part of town. For a while I contemplated moving just to get the full effect of broadband, but I've developed a certain resignation. Anyway, it's great talking on the phone while using the mac. Donald
