We have a 44k dial-up user here. It bites that this is the fastest connection i can get with my local phone company. They give me good service besides this tho. DSL should be out here in a year or so! Now it's either snail mail or dial-up. It keeps me pluggin' down the super-highway tho. Since

Steve, I think YouTube is the problem because, just as you are apparently being limited, I have seen some videos on YouTube are completely out of sync where, the audio and, video do not match. That is a common problem with digital audio files (especially on PCs).
