Actually, when I go out in = our camper and access the internet through my cell phone I feel their = pain! Some dial-up subscribers live where broadband service is not = available. I've recently moved to the country where there is no DSL nor = cable, however there are 3 fixed wireless providers available so I have = excellent service. Not all are so fortunate. =20 The size limit has been changed a lot and at the moment is set rather = generously - probably too generously for those who dial - but that is = the reason we have been encouraging those with =BD meg files to put them = on the server and include the link. I am aware of how many pictures = have been included in posts in the past week. As broadband service = becomes more widespread I'm sure this will continue. =20 =20 We're just trying to provide what's needed while considering those who = have slower service. =20 dave =20 David M.
