Minor correction: RICH Americans (and Canadians) don't appreciate this dilemma. All the POOR people still using dial-up internet are the victims of ever-increasing software/download size. I am routinely helping our (community NFP internet) members clear out their mailboxes when some ignorant friend on high speed keeps sending 5-10MB worth of photos. :( I recently *stopped* advising our members to use AVG Free edition because the latest download had bloated to nearly 40MB. That's roughly SEVEN hours on a dial-up connection. I've started to recommend "ClamWin", but that package is also slowly increasing in size. It's up to 21MB. Still, ClamAV has the most efficient updates I've seen....
