My first laptop. :0) Still learning about the differences between
desktop and laptop. (I just switched to DSL two weeks ago after 16
years of dialup. I can never go "home" again. :0)
Speaking of which.... ISPs are looking at regulating the transfer of
data via broadband, with stiff charges for exceeding the limits. I
believe one (AT&T?) has already gone to this with a 30GB limit per
month. That's fine for a cor****ation, but for a private person....
