Russell, That is cool. We forget that it has been barely 20 years since the=20 Internet became available to the public at large. I have been logging on=20 to private BBS's since the late 70's. Then I signed up for CompuServe in=20 the early 80's and about a year after CompuServe began offering Internet=20 access I signed up. I'm guessing but I would say that that was about 95=20 or 96. One way or another I have been on the Internet ever since. Yep, 14,400 became 28,800 and then 56K. Then a company made it=20 possible to install multiple modems, multiple lines, and run them=20 concurrently. If you could afford it you could run at 1Mbs. Now I have=20 20Mbs download and 5Mbs upload for 40 a month. Charter also has a 60Mbs=20 service available for 60 per month. Remember when it would have cost=20 more than a thousand per month to do that. Thanks, rich!
