Dialup? It's for losers

Just kidding. The offices of SHECKYmagazine.com are finally DSL-enabled. For years, the folks who have had broadband have done their best to try and make us feel bad about ourselves for relying on dialup. (Actually, having dialup is enough to make one feel bad about having dialup.) We finally pulled the trigger on Earthlink’s DSL. It’s like lightning. And it hooked up and diagnosed itself in a matter of minutes. We’ve been accessing the internet via dialup since we first hopped on in 1995! First at 24 Kbs, then 33.3 and until ten minutes ago, 56 K. It’s a beautiful new world!
