  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!)

  Cheers, Marie
