It doesn’t matter what you have on dial-up. There are ISPs who claim they speed you up, but speed is limited by the phone line and distance to the nearest phone exchange. Example: I had a 112,400 bps modem and could only connect at 24,000. My son is 2 miles closer and connects at 38,000.
If there is cable hook up in your area, I would go that route, or maybe even satellite. If money is the deciding factor, dial-up is your only choice.

Well… AOL is good for parental controls and cool features, while Yahoo is good for the Yahoo Answers, games, music, etc. Yahoo! (I think) is cheaper. Dial up is the same speed on every service no matter what. Stay with Yahoo.

I think the better question would be, Why doesn’t your wife want you looking at porn?

Save your items you want saved to Disk …… then pick them back up after you have reloaded…… you can either use the right click . send to or drag items to the drive that your CD or Dvd is located

Comment on If I had mentioned when I had “Q” about obsession & computers that I was home recovering from back surgery… by Jylsamynne

I wouldn’t say that the number of hours spent online would determine an obsession, because many people use the Internet in their jobs, like me in doing research and skip tracing. But I also love to come home and talk to friends and play games.

I think it becomes defined as an “obsession” when it’s getting in the way of your everyday activities, such as when you just can’t pull yourself away from the computer to do dishes, go to the store, spend time with your family, etc.
