You must have a friend, somewhere, with broadband. Back in the Dark Ages (before I got some high-speed at home), I'd routinely pack up my Cube and just take it over to a friend's house. We'd have some beer & pizza, get the thing fully updated, and that'd be that. It's good to socialize, sometimes :) Cheers, A.J. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
