Only if you actually reply to a spammer's e-mail.

How do you share your USB connected internet connection? Is your
G3/500 the beast that's hooked up to the USB modem via the USB port
and then you share the internet connection using OS X's in-built
sharing software and a connection to an ethernet hub connected to the
ethernet port on the G3/500?

Of course, hi speed lite is "light" ;-). It is 2x dialup? 128 Kbps vs.
1.2 Mbps for slow ADSL lines (Sympatico High Speed Edition), 3 Mbps
for mid speed ADSL (some HSE lines) and 4 Mbps for a few ADSL lines
(Sympatico Ultra lines) and 3 Mbps for high speed cable.

For basic web browsing 128 Kbps is fast enough IMNSHO, though, I like
to be able to d/l a 700 MB ISO (disk image) in an hour ;-).
