In regards to my previous post about our mulched television antenna --  -- I'd like to say thank you for the comments about being able to catch some of the shows online! However, if you see the title of this post, you can see why it was merely pouring salt into a wound. Yep, we country folk are stuck with dial-up and I think the only time we will get high-speed is if more houses start being built around here. NOT a fair trade-off! We tried a wireless modem and it worked great if I put one foot on the credenza, one hand on the lamp and held a piece of foil to the wireless antenna (with a fork in my mouth). LOL! Hubby is now working from home and he has been sequestered to a tv tray in the corner of ds5's room because that's the only place he can get a connection. If his company only knew! Ha!

A young man in our homeschool group who happens to be my son's guitar teacher recently one a short-film award and we tried to watch it with dial-up. It took over two hours to buffer and then stopped working at 2 1/2 minutes. Oh well, from what I saw, half of the film was very good. If you're interested, you can go to www.GodTube.com and do a search for "A Fragile Hope" (It's only 5 minutes long). I'd like to tell you that the soldier running and looking back is him, but he's one of 13 children and they all look identical.
