RE: OT survival of mankind without DSL

Yeah, but software is accomplishing a lot more now than it did back then. It's interesting to me, I know I haven't been around computers maybe as long as most of this list, but I have come up with something. It seems to me that the industry is finally at a point where the software (general) is now trying to catch up to the hardware. Used to be I couldn't buy programs because my machine was too much of a wuss, now I can buy anything I want!! Kev

Because in the past, well-written software used to fit on one or two 320K diskettes.

None of that bloated-code API, object-oriented nonsense that just lets people come out with new versions every six months.

        Subject:        RE: 9i download

        I believe that a cable modem or a DSL are the best download
accelerators on
        the market. Doing that with a 56k modem is a suicide. From this
perspective,
        I cannot
        comprehend how did the mankind survive before the advent of DSL.....
