markopoleo join:2003-04-02 Bonne Terre, MO ·Charter Pipeline	Dialup is almost as expensive as broadband now You spend about $15-20 a month for a 2nd phone line like most did with dialup,then another $10-20 for ISP. Your getting close to Broadband prices. Heck lots of computers don't even come with dial up modems anymore so you have to fork over a few bucks there to get started. I mean to each its own, I know broadband is not for everyone, but you will still be cheaper than dialup even if you get lowest DSL/cable package offered. Why does he worry about security anyways? Everything is autoupdateing you don't even have to care about it with a router. lol

dibbb join:2003-09-19 ·Time Warner VOIP	I would cut off my TV and phone service before I quit broadband! Like the other guy, my first modem was 1200 baud, and there was nothing to "surf" to at the time, it was only local bulletin board services with not much on them. I've got a 2 year old baby, and thankfully she'll never have to "suffer" with dial-up in her life... Kids don't know how good they have it! She has her own PC, I didn't get mine until I was 15, and it was a 1MHz Tandy. Yes, ONE MHz. lol Welcome to the 21st Century guy.

Something some guy in his 40's got when you got it at 15 (1MHz Tandy). It's true for every generation, one generation receives the technology and the other is born into it. It all balances out in the end. -Tzale -- "They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security."--Benjamin Franklinhttp://www.megaherz.com
