We got cable today :)
Man, I don't ever want to see 56k again.
$40 a month, but it's worth it.
Ok, I must go and install Aimster now and put the cable to work :p

I don't have cable AT ALL. No cable TV, no cable internet... Some people wonder how I survive.

I'll check it out.
Aimster is now some other site that charges $4.95 a month. F**k that!!
I've also heard audiogalaxy is a good one to use.

I used to use WinMX a lot but haven't reloaded it since my last re-format,bevcause it was so slow...I liked the system,but would be interested to know how cable users find it speedwise.

Once I got my cable modem last summer, I knew I could never go back.

At home: No internet cable (late next year is projected) No DSL, (no projection date) So I have to deal with a 56k that generally has a connection rate of 26400...
Work: T1 connection. smoking fast!!
That's why you will rarely see me logged on when I'm not at work. Being online at home is like pulling teeth with no novicaine!!

Yeah, jsut make sure you get a good firewall, like at www.zonelabs.com because i just got a nasty virus and with cable, people can send you crap faster than you can say "well grease my belly and rub it with a spatula, this IS good beer!"

Hehe :hehehe: Sounds like we're in the same boat mate!
I haven't had cable since this one power outage. My dad never bothered to get it back! That was like 7 years ago! I'm really amazed I've gone this far without cable telly.

no offense, but internet speed is no excuse whatsoever for user carelessness
thats what you get for opening a file as soon as its downloaded rather than saving it to disk and having a virus scanner check it before you run it
that was your own fault.. not your internet connection's fault

here in massachusetts we are in the middle of a technology sector. My mom and dad's house both have cable internet and all the computers networked through a router. It is wierd. I would say my parents are nerds but my mom is a minister (my dad is a nerd though, no question about it)

that's not nerdy
i know alotta people that have cable/dsl and have 2 or more computers linked up
it's not that hard to do, all you do is plug the stuff in (i think, i'm no computer nerd :) )

what makes you a geek (like me) is when your router is a software router running linux ;)
VideoNasty and i have a total of 4 machines, including the software router
Megatron: the router, linux, 64M ram, p233MMX, overclocked to 263Mhz
Optimus: the POS 486 laptop with 36M ram, used as a secondary system (and for bringing data on trips), Win95 OSR2
Gigatron: VideoNasty's Workstation, P2-400 with 192M ram, Win 98 (original)
Starscream: My workstation, P3-750 with 256M ram Win 98 SE
