    I dicthed that in 2003 and switched to high-speed cable. Then in 2006, to DSL.

    Ah, yes. I remember Compuserve on the 28K dialup line, back when we lived too far out of town for cable or DSL.

    My first modem was 300 baud. We’ve come a ways since those days. That was in the early 80s and instead of Internet we were calling local bulletins boards.

    I’m a plugger and I’m flying on FIOS. What a plugger is is someone who just keeps plugging along, no matter what the obstacle.
