I've downloaded all my updates via dial-up, even the network install of SP2 with the use of a download manager at night over a couple nights. Most people are spoiled when it comes to speed, along with needing to have everything instantly, I still remember using modems rated in BAUD, not bps aka bits per second. I don't even use my connection enough to warrant paying for a broadband connection, and unlike some people might think, it doesn't take all day to download a few MBs of data, its abound 1MB every 3-4 minutes on a good connection, and if the data is plan text you can get some really good compression with stac compression to get up to 20KB per second of pure ascii text, like when doing newsgroups, etc.. -- My hourly rates: $25 per hour. $35 per hour if you want to watch. $45 per hour if you want to help. $75 per hour if you tried to fix it, and failed. The biggest error is sitting in front of your keyboard. |
