You're right about that. Most of the folks in my region have had cable modems and/or DSL available for years, but I seem to live in a little pocket that for some reason has been neglected on both fronts. The SBC commercials say "whatever it takes". Yeah, right. And what's this I keep reading about telecommunications infrastructure being overbuilt in the 90's?
For a long time I lamented the fact I couldn't get broadband, but have lately realized I really don't need it 99% of the time. Maybe it's just sour grapes. Anyway, I used Fresh Download which is freeware (registration after 30 days is free) to manage the download of the three mandrake CDs. It did take a little over a week to get them all, so at this point I'd guess the box will get there first. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:newbie-owner@;linux-mandrake.com]On Behalf Of Barran, Richard > Sent: Thursday, October 31, 2002 10:35 AM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: [newbie] wondering about 9.0 pre-orders > > Not everyone has (or wants) a broadband connection.
