If all countries allowed local calling to not be charged for by the minute legacy hardware users could do what we used to do decades ago. We downloaded large programs at night while we were asleep and Telenet (note the extra "e") was not prone to pauses. During the day Telenet would pause for as long as five minutes then continue transmitting. LOL Downloading software online seems the only other alternative lately which is probably why Lindos computers don't have floppy drives? Charles Angelich The Ghost in the Machine!
