Yes, Steve, you are all alone. Last man in the Universe with dial up. I looked you up in the Guinness book.
I am honored...I think. As it is, it all works out for me. Plus, I am seriously limited in but one choice, that being cable, for broadband service where I happen to live, and I just will not do business with that company. I am in Fairfax County, so perhaps you can guess the name of that "exclusive" cable provider.
I have almost unlimited access at any time to high speed at work for anything I want it for. My unlimited and ad-free dial-up is very cheap, with most of what I do online being text only e-mail coupled with a bit of simple 'surfing,' and my workplace pays for my broadband access when I feel the need. If I want to download a really large file at home, I just start it as I hit the sack and let the computer take care of the rest, including putting itself to 'sleep' after the download has finished.
I'm just not one of those type-A personalities that has to have it RIGHT NOW!!! I can also buy some more beer with the money I save.
