Hi Guys: FYI, should you want to check the speed of your computer downloading, my ISP serviceman says to click on www.toast.net/performance . Its a free service that will tell you if your particular type of connection whether it be dial-up, digital or cable is within normal limits of download speed for that type. It really works....
