When I had 1200 baud I wanted 2400. When I had 2400 baud I wanted 9600. When I had 9600 I wanted 14.4, then 56K, then I wanted a leased line, then I wanted a T1 but had to settle for ADSL. When I had ADSL I wanted SDSL, when I had SDSL I wanted 10 Mbit, then 25 Mbit. A few years back when Comcast screwed me over I got 100Mbit municipal fiber to the house, then upgraded to symmetric gigabit a while later. I'll always take more, and I'm not ashamed of it! I work from home, it's nice to know I can be on a video meeting with 15 people and still download an ISO image in a few seconds while someone else in the house games or watches videos. -Seth -- Seth Morabito * Poulsbo, WA * https://loomcom.com/
