milady,

I know that.  I was talking out of over 5 years experience on 2 different 
computers though.  I know that don't make it always bad.  Anything can get 
better.  It's just that during the 5 years I had earthlink, I had nothing 
but trouble with it.  Why is beyond me because earthlink is not a new 
provider exactly, but it sure had it's problems.  After a while I got 
charter and have had it for about 6 years now and simply love it.  In my 
opinion, charter is even better then DSL and I've had both.  However, I do 
realize there are "lemons" in just about everything.  If you have good luck 
with earthlink, then that's great.  I just can't say that.

Bob
