Well, not quite. I get a fairly old computer that's set the way I like it, and an unmetered connection that is adequate for the price.

I just meant the slowness of 56k dial-up. It is all I've ever used. It kind of gets to me when broadband users talk about 56k dial-up as if it is unbearably primative. Kinda thought that's what you meant. But it's the unfamiliar laptop mainly, huh?
