True. And yet, according to recent studies, "A new divide has developed between those who have high-speed connections to the Internet and those stuck with slow dial-up access, a report released yesterday said. Elderly, less educated and low-income users are less likely to enjoy high-speed Internet access than younger, college-educated, upper-income users, according to the report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, which researches the impact of the Internet. The report said that 53 percent of home Internet users have residential high-speed connections, up from 21 percent in 2002, but that some have been left in the digital dust." So, given these stats, nearly one in two Americans would be unable to download the material on the CD. Trash? Or, helping 50% of your readers? You decide. t. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Central West End Linux Users Group (via Google Groups) Main page: http://www.cwelug.org To post: cwelug@googlegroups.com To subscribe: cwelug-subscr...@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe: cwelug-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com More options: http://groups.google.com/group/cwelug -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
