John has succinctly summed up the situation that many of us find ourselves in. It is a shame that the internet community is being divided into the "haves and havenots" (broadband vs. dial up).
I for one refuse to be forced to "upgrade" to broadband from my very satisfactory $7.50/month current internet account. As one who has had an email address (and Unix shell account) back in the days before most people ever even HEARD of the internet, I am saddened by the current trend towards massively increased "content" that is wiping out much of the benefits gained from better and faster hardware. I still use the ALT functions in web pages I write to insure that they are lynx friendly.
