yeah those engineers are payed like more than $30 an hour and they couldn't resolve something like that?
They may have been "Customer"-type engineers, not the "Technical" kind...

Just curious to see if anyone truly HATES dial-up like myself (being stuck on a 26.4kbps dial-up connection for a few).

Please post your reasons for hating/liking it. :)

My reason for hating it is simple, ITS SLOW!

Dial-up?? What's that? :p
