5 gigs?!? How the heck are you supposed to download game demos or even operating system updates. (Should you be running OSX or Windows or Linux, that is.) I could easily surpass 5 gigs a month just with my regular web surfing and searching and downloading of drivers and patches. What are they trying to do? Put a crimp on all the little computer shops and freelancers? Right now I'm downloading some Mac scanner drivers that are in one file over 80megs. *As he smugly smiles and enjoys his unlimited download amount.* ;) <duck> But it's only a 56k modem dialup. P.S. I'm getting better than 14K/sec right now, from TAIWAN of all places! I've NEVER EVER had that fast of a transfer rate keep going on a modem. Taiwan, normally land of the swizzle stick size "pipe". Somebody must have slipped up and left the "valve" full open. ;) ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
