Nothing weird about it. I'm in the audio business, and didn't have a
sound card in my computer, either.


I'm in the audio business, and I have sound from every source I can
find. Since wavetable synthesis came around in the mid '90s I've HAD to
have a good sound card.

That is kind of what I was thinking. It's not even five minutes for
googlegroups...but even if he didn't want to do google - there are so
many free usenet servers out there - I've used two others , I still
have one in my favorites.

Well, if you speak to him again tell him Gregg said "Hey" and I hope
he's getting better. He's missed in RRS.

Graphics on pages? You mean like the frames they use? Other than
those, Google is not graphics-heavy, at least by 21-st century
standards.

Nonetheless, the page load time on a dialup can be enough
motivate one to find an alternative.

OK -
Well, that's true of 99% of websites today. Many of them load slowly
on high-speed, never mind dialup.

If I had to use dialup, I'd quit. Life's too short. I hope he finds
something acceptable.

He'll find something that works for him.

WebTV can't down load anything, no hard drive.Maybe that is why most
websites (using WebTV) I click on pull up on my tv screen pretty dang
Quick, because it doesn't have a lot of crap to contend with.A lot
faster than a Lot of computers on dialup I have seen before, can't get
any viruses either.WebTV is strictly dial up.My Velocity Micro desk top
is mighty Fast.

Those people at Velocity Micro in Good old Richmond,Virginia tweaked my
Windows Home XP so that it works smoothe and plenty Fast enough to suit
me.

Had a note from Steve, he's ok but still sore.

ISP's are a dime a dozen

I have 3 ISP's plus 5 VPN's ISP's BUT, they do cost a little.

Kathryn Stockett's book is about to hit the big screen

I saw her talking on WLBT 6:00 PM tv news this evening.She said she
didn't expect anybody to read her book but her mother.Her parents used
to own Stockett Stables.Nowadays some auto dealerships sit where
Stockett Stables used to be.

Tighten up every chance you get.
