5. I don't have any trouble viewing large images.

Speedtest says my download speed is 20.59 Mbps at the moment. Doesn't sound overly impressive by today's standards, but it gets the job done for me. I never have a problem downloading images posted in this group.

I really feel for anyone who still has to rely on a dialup connection. I haven't had one in over 20 years, but I remember what it was like all too well. It sucked, and having to tie up the phone line to go online sucked even more. The day DSL became available in my area was a very happy one for me.
