I am in rainy, windy Chicago and the hotel I am staying in doesn't have high speed access. Nothing like trying to read some of these posts with lots of pics! I can't wait to get back home so I don't have to drink a beer in between clicks...

I usually squeeze in a game of minesweeper while waiting for a page to load. If there are pics, I can usually finish a game of freecell. Sometimes I think the US Mail is faster.

ps it took 39 hours to download IE5 a couple months ago. I think the download was 18MB, how many KB/sec would that be?

You remember right. Last night I went straight from the free drinks to the pay drinks and didn't go up to the room until 11:00! Had a nice omelet with bacon this morning before class...
