I'm not talking about the accual length or how much space it takes up, I'm talking about the size of the pictures and gifs some people have in there sigs? I timed one that has a gif of a matrix scene a few minutes ago and it takes over 7 minutes to load on dailup, thats insane.

Still...60 bucks is too much. Why dont you get DSL? IT should be cheaper.

like I said, no dsl here, no cable, and I think the only company providing satalite pulled out because of lack of people buying it. Kinda sad really, 1/2 mile from my house is one of the nations largest fiber optic backbones, runs from dallas to chicago.

:nono: Remember, internet with wires is more reliable than the internet being wire-less. I've had my share of problems too. Cable is one of the best in my book.

This is why I turned off the "show images" thing in my profile. Whenever someone post a pic or has a pic in their signature I just see a link. But I've seen the mods yell at quite a few people for having big images before.

directway satellite internet doesn't depend on dialup for upload. thats one of the options. The other option is a 2 way satellite connection. Something like $70/month for that. I almost got it before they brought cable into my neighborhood. Speed is decent with satellite.

They said they're gonna teach me how to read next semester...hopefully I can read some Whinnie the Pooh books now. I'm tired of those damn kids books where u press the button on the side and hear a cow "moo-ing" or a bird "chirping"
