This is very weird. My internet just picked up speed. For the past two days I've been having problems uploading to my PAW gallery--internet download and upload was insanely slow. I called earthlink, ordered a new modem (which was free), yet as of right now it seems just fine. I'm zipping from page to page as before. Ugh! Technology :-). Well, will see how long this lasts.
Thanks for everyone's help. Down the road, I may have to get cable internet only anyway.
