I don't mind waiting 8 hours at all. Well I do, but its not bad compared to how long I have to wait for things now. But right now I'm downloading a 5.7 GB file, I'm 25% done now, and I still have about 12 days left...

Plus,  I can't play many online games, and dial up is just restricting what I can do with my computer :(

I know what you mean. I had dialup for a while, and it sucked because my friends couldn't phone me while I was online. Which sucked.

*chokes on off-brand soda* WHOA! That is a bit of a large file (dare I ask what it is?), but 25% and 12 days left is choke-on-pff-brand-soda crazy! I can do that within a couple of hours!


Shit... Now I've got H-E-B Diet Twist all over my keyboard...

Lol, the download is Star Ocean EX. It was one of my favorite games, so I wanted to watch the series. I would have bought it on DVD at a local store, but there aren't any local stores that have it.

IF I get high speed internet, I'll probably download a few more tv series on my computer.

Get Broadband.

Why hate AOL? It's slow, but it's loveable. Especially when you attach Firefox or MSN to it. I'm using dial-up, but I'd still love Broadband.

If I have to wait at least 4 hours for something, I won't do it. Get Flashget if you want a big download. It can save your place.

AOL sucks cow feces. They're stupid "parental controls" for PRETEENS wouldn't let me go on to even frikin NEOPETS because of "inappropriate content". The !@#$ing piece of useless crap wouldn't let me go on FUGGIN GOOGLE! NOOOOO, I have to use FRIKIN YAHOOLIGANS TO GET FUGGIN INFO ON ANY SCHOOL THING I HAVE TO DO? I cried because it made me so ticked off.

I have AOL, Its not really that bad at all for me. I don't have any parental controls, so I don't have to worry about that. Its fast for dial up. It doesn't work with a lot of sites, and it makes jpeg image files look like crap, but thats when I open up firefox and use that.

I would rather have a diffearnt internet service than AOL, but its not my decision, and its not really a big deal for me, so I don't really mind it at all.
