Well Barry, the answer to the latter is yes - I have it. In our rural, mountain location old fashioned, ultra slow, dialup is our only option I gave up trying to watch anything on youtube. (and a lot of other websites, too) As to Martin's remark of 'go and make a cup of tea' I can add, drink the the tea, do the washing up, make a trip to town, wash the kitchen floor , etc and 'maybe' by then it will have loaded! IF the dialup connection hasn't been disconnected for some reason!)
