Final Countdown

1:01 pm Connect to internet
1:03 pm Finally see homepage (which needs to be changed)
1:06 Finally access my blog to create a new post (this one)

5 Minutes...that is probably a new record. The fastest I have ever gotten to any given page before.

Yes, call me a penny pincher, cheap, poor, thrifty, but we have only ever had dial up. You heard right, dial up. So savor the posts that you do get to read, it took me a good hour to publish anything that had a picture.

Alas, the time has come to join the digital age. We are upgrading to high speed internet. The thriftiness is still there though, we are going with the cheapest high speed internet there is(lowest tier). I mean, after all this time, we should be zooming around the internet on even the lowest of high speed internet connections, right?

Tomorrow is the big day!

You will never turn back. The difference will blow you away. Even at the tier you chose. We were amazed at the difference and wondered why we waited sooo long (not as long as you though!). At work, everything I help students with is online. When I run into dial up, its where I prove my commitment. Enjoy !

Wow - I don't think I would have the patience to blog if I had to deal with that. I wonder if you'll be crankin out more posts with a faster connection.
