8. Thanks. I don't really need anything this fancy-shmancy.

If you saw what I was using last week, your jaw would drop.

Here's what happened. A company installing new internet in my neighborhood didn't take the time to mark existing underground cables, so they sawed right through my connection. My fallback position was an old dial-up connection. I was running an iBook G4 on OSX 10.4.11, Tiger. My browser was TenFourFox, the last version they released before throwing in the towel, fpr 32.5.

People, that is slow. Right now, my cable service is back, and I'm on an employer-supplied laptop running Windows 11. Much faster.
