Gee, Mel...I thought I was the only one!!!

Hey, guys/gals...if you reply to this thread, to keep the space down, and make it easier for Adam to read, post a minimum reply, and then just go back and "Edit" your original reply, and put the time in that way. This will keep the number of posts down to a minimum, and make it easier to read. I think...

Unfortunately it is the only connection available to me. Satelite is too expensive for my budget, I'm too far away from a switch to get DSL, and cable is not strung down my road because of too few homes to justify the cost.
