Thanks
When you live on a farm, dialup is all there is. Unless I went
satellite at a cost of $100 a month. For a little email and a few
websites, and occasional newsgroup use I think paying $20 a month is
too much for dialup. Most farmers dont even use internet around here.
Until 2001 there was no internet at all.
I'll try what you said.
What does google have to do with any of this?
