Hi Bob, I was on dial up until a few weeks ago. But, having dial-up was a matter of my funds not RW's fault. Yes, it was lousy to not be able to get some high-byte content like videos. But that wasn't the fault of the web. Meaning, we wouldn't change anything about the web or about websites if we did complain. That would be like complaining to the phone company that you don't have touch tone and "everyone else does." Fact is, there are some people who don't have touch tone phone service-- my grandma was one. She used what she had, just as I used what computer / ISP and dial-up I had. Now I can get cable. So I moved "up" a little in the world. But do I blame computer-age for continuing to improve the internet so much that I became obsolete in how I accessed it? Well, it made me crazy sometimes, jealous other days -- but I knew complaining wouldn't solve one iota of my personal dislikes about the WWW or access. Oh... AND... high speed ain't all it's said to be, with frequent disconnects and if satellite links at the company go down, so does TV AND computer access! For HOURS. Now that is something to complain about!! LOLOLOL If you can, use Internet explorer to access RW & Anc. It works better than AOL-- most of the time! Been there, done that. Now I will say I hate that security box on Rootsweb. It comes up 3x. And yes I have my internet security adjusted within a good range. I sign into Ances. without that security box, so why does RW have it come up repeatedly? grr Judy On 9/25/06, RWListOwner@aol.com <RWListOwner@aol.com> wrote: > > I've complained before, will complain until I get high speed, in another > dozen years, that you all do not understand how we with slow speed feel. > When I get online it takes over a minute to bring up Rootsweb, it > takes more > time to bring up the boards and my problem lists.
