so, i'm house-sitting for the next 2 weeks. my grandparents house (which is actually only across the street from my house). but they have a cable modem (i have dsl at home) and it is so much faster. i want cable now. i was downloading the animatrix dvd at over 200K/sec. :thumbup: and now han pops up instantly. i had no idea how slow my connection was until now.
