Hi Troth,

I am on both.  I have two ISP's and have two computers.  I leave one at my
moms, that has cable.  I will be using dial up starting next week most of
the time except on occasion when visiting her.  That reminds me of a
question that I had about that too, Who me? ask a question?  LOL..  anyways,
I need to install my cable ISP software into my other computer so mom can
use it while Im not at her place..and I will be using dial up at my place.
I can have the ISP software on both computers right, just can only use on
one computer unless I am networking it in the same house.

> Remember... for dial-up visitors, every bit of bandwidth counts. Better to
reduce the actual size of the image with an editor than it is using HTML to
have the browser do it for you. The former makes the image looks nicer
(since the image editing program specializes in redrawing the new size) and
takes less time to download, while the latter takes longer to download and
looks (usually) crappy.
