  1. Mine is paid for, deal.
  2. I thought shug was on permanent newbie status. :2funny:
  3. So you would rather be tied to hughesnet for 2 years? By the way for the las two years I have been on Sprint EVDO Rev. A. And in my opinion its better than satelite. It had a bit better D/L speeds, but in real life it was slower than this, and this is portable too. Put in the mac laptop and go. And no weather problems. If it rains, gets ice on the dish, or has weather at the sat headquarters again the same. I'd never go back. Only good things about sat is if there is nothing else. Like Katrina it was up and running in a day where nothing else was available. If you are camping. But other wise its slow. Hey ............. I'll trade you all my old satelite equipment for your cable setup. I'll even deliver it.
  4. The speeds people are getting these days. But I still love the country life better.
  5.

  6. Figures, the little asshole.
  7. Great username. aboard.
  8. How many left nuts do you have anyway. You give one away at least every few months. :2funny:
  9. No, but close. It uses existing cell phone towers and wavelengths. You have a card like in video inside the computer which acts sort of like an antenna for receiving it. So the cell phone waves you use your phone on are the same for your internet. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EVDO Better than satelite for surfing speeds. I had more download on satelite. But surf faster on EVDO. And so far no restrictions on my downloads like I heard so many have on satelite. And no weather to get in the way, ICE, RAIN, TREES, etc... And satelite has your signal going way up in the air and back. And in effect if one is on a laptop its also mobile. Take the internet on the road with you. So for many quite handy for business use also. I have the USB U720 by sprint on mine. And an antenna outside as I am in the basement. It works pretty good. I hope that helped. It really pretty simple.
  10. Also check for EVDO in your area. Way better than sat if your out in the boonies like me.
  11. I liked 7 best. That would make an interesting hobby.
  12. Yeah that was a great break from the normal day. Thanks for sharing.
  13. That all depends on who you ask. I used to do too well. I had the 500/50 on hughes and got like 1030/75. But thats been a couple of years. The pings on the other hand are never good on satelite. By the way welcome to the forum.
  14. Again depends who you ask. I get about 800/300 for $60. I'd jump too. Others in bigger cities would say crappy. Is that the best deal for your area? Bang for the buck. Do you need it ?
  15. Thats an easy one momma. http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=63774 Too much of an open book I'd say. Gotta be careful these days.
  16. aboard OB1.
  17. Planet earth, third rock from the sun. USA? Ok Missouri. Fine Liberty Missouri (pronounced Misery)
  18. You ought to try the 100 mb test also with that connection gottabesold. Nice speed. And to the forum.
  19. Yes I did have a good easter, aboard.
  20. Have you got the latest MSN messenger version? Just a thought, when I have any trouble with YIM its usually that.
  21. Ok muddy, whats the advantage to a MAC with windows on it then?
  22. The success is the more the better the impact still. So any success is still success for real. I try hard with every purchase too. I even avoild if and when possible to drop by walmart as they are now the biggest made in china importer.
  23. When will people quit helping them and realize our health is worth more than a few saved dollars?
  24. That part will not leave. It comes with a bed pan too. By the way, they were not insults. Just seeing into the future. Yes mine unfortunately. ( way on down the road of course )
  25. It had me kill a program I needed. Yeah I put it back. But I like a program I do not have to think over. In case I am tired.
