At home I have a cable modem on a fiber-optic line, and at school I'm on a T1 line, so to me I see no difference. I suppose, though, that ppl on a 28.8K modem might see a difference....

I would think that people with faster connections would notice any speedup the most, because ticalc would be the bottleneck, which would be widened. The bottleneck with 28.8k connections is on the 28.8k side. I don't know.

I've got a 300 baud Commodore Pet modem. w00t! It would take an hour or so to download a whole page at that speed.

I've never used the modem to download anything, but I've estimated that a whold page of text (40x25 characters) would take over half a minute to download completely. I can't read that fast.

hehe yeah that's me... (what if i was using DSL or T1 or T3 buddy?) oh well... lucky guess...

everyone with an 89, go to my site and go to GAMES-89-TANKERS and download it... when you start it, press up and down at the EXACT same time (may take a few tries), but when you do that, it starts a 1 player thingy where you can check out the tiles and map and stuff... (2 player/calculator GAME, but you can USE it with 1 player) it's so incredibley awesome

GO TO MY SITE FOR PHAT CALC GAMES

It seems laggy to me...It's really annoying, and it only happens with ticalc.org. slashdot.org, tinews.net, michaelv.org, et cetera all load very fast. And I have reached over 3 mbps :)

I use something that American capitalism revolves around, it's called "money." It's amazing, I just send this money stuff to Internet companies and I own the domains!

we have at&t. IMO, they should stick to the phone business, and stay away from cable (including internet).

I actually really like that song, along with Money, Comfortably Numb, Young Lust, Wish You Were Here, and Learning to Fly, as well as some stuff from the 60's. Crazy stuff, eh?

Pink Floyd, like many bands of the 70's and 80's, started in the 60's. Others include the Bee Gees, the Rolling Stones, the Beatles, and even Led Zeppelin.
