So, like I want to buy a used laptop, n shnak, and I currently have dial up. I want to get something better than dial up; what should I get n shnak and what gizmos do I need (ie. a "modem" or something like atha oehasthatlsk) and like what service is a good one to get, cheap and stuff, like uh, in the usa or something. I want the kind where you are always logged into the internet, just open the browser and you're there, yo. Werd! Laptop dipshits. should I get "dsl". tapeworms. |

I can't stop thinking about my collar bone. It's driving me entirely insane. I think the bone marrow is slowly disintegrating out of it, but on the right side only.... ugh.. I imagine like something looping around it like a rope or metal collarbone snatcher and yanking it out of my body, or indians shooting arrows right into it, YACK. I have to keep my right shoulder on my chin, and it keeps getting worse. I bet my tape worm is inside eating the bone marrow or something. |

I'm googling "cable vs dsl". I don't know but suspect cable is cheaper and maybe slower. do you know of a cheap one, maybe 10 bucks a month. That's what net-gaf-zero charges anyway and they're dial up. But you DO get that cool spyware though. maybe dsl is the same price as cable. |

"Most cable plans cost between $40 and $45 per month" I hope that statement is dated and it's cheaper now. |

Here, at least, DSL is cheaper than cable. I've used both and cable seems to be just a little bit faster, but DSL is fast enough for everything I would want to do. If you get cable, you'll have to have a cable modem. Some companies will give you a free after rebate cable modem, which is fine if you don't mind waiting for the rebate. Cable modems seem to run around $80-$100. Some companies also allow you to rent cable modems for a low fee each month. I don't remember exactly how much, but I think it was around $5 per month. I think prices for service depend on your area, and how much competition is around, but here you can get cable internet service for $20 a month with no contract. With DSL, you'll also have to have a modem, but DSL modems seem to be cheaper (around $50) and you can most times get them free with rebate. As far as I know, most companies do not have the option of renting a DSL modem. With DSL, you'll most likely have to get it from the same company who supplies your phone service. If you don't have phone service something called "naked DSL" or "dry loop DSL" in your area--that seems to cost about $20 per month, which is less than a phone line and DSL together. If you have a phone line, you can most times get a contract that costs anywhere between $12-$17 on top of your phonebill. I have DSL, though I sort of regret getting it because it would have been cheaper to go for cable since I did not have a phoneline, and dry loop was not available here. Here's a to a package similar to the one I got (good deal if you're going to be staying where you are for a year). |

Thanks for all the help. I'm glad you mentioned the phone company because I was checking the top dsl/cable companies (earthlink, cox, charter etc) and they seem to all be 40 bucks a month (or a deceptive introductory 19.99 a month for the 1st few months only), but I googled verizon, my phone company (i have a phone line) and it seems to only be 15 a month...! I also googled my electric company (edison) and they seem to offer cheap cable service too. By the way, didn't you send me those animation-ish programs a long time ago. I never installed them because my computer was a super allergic hyper sensative time bomb, but should have no problem loading it on the laptop I'll be buying soonish. The only animation capability I have is the gimp and making something like your avatar would be so cumbersome as to not be worth bothering. What program did you use to make your avatar animation again, assuming you made it? |

I used Flash MX to make my avatar, with a little editing in ImageReady to make it look right. |
