Believe it or not I'm actually back on topic from comicbook stores to the fact that my DSL went out last night.
SO if it seems like I don't care when you ask a question and I don't show back up it's just that I'm preparing in case it decides to go offline again tonight.
Thank god my pet didn't die last night.
My cyber pet Godzilla I mean.

DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line and is a type of high speed computer service that runs through your phone line. A cable modem is generally faster when running at its top speed, but dsl is usually cheaper and almost as fast.

Thank you for explaining that Kurt. For where I live it's the fastest option. It's a 128 DSL so it's almost as slow as dial up but not really.

Bless the third world!

Actually I know for you super tech types it sounds like it would be incredibly slow but it isn't. It's just not fiber optic land here yet.

See Dave, how much you mean to me. :wink:

Oh yea, and Dave, I've forgotten where we have to go to pick out items for our shops. I promised Jennifer I'd have 4 new items for when she gets back. Good luck to ME and YOU Dave.
Could you repost the site? I know it's Ragnarok something.
