It's Official - I live in the DARK AGES

for the 2nd time, my attempt to get DSL failed. AT&T has finally told me that my connection outside at the pole is 'too old' and that they cannot update it and that it won't handle DSL. ::cries::

so, I'm stuck with Dial up at home. Cable's out (cable lines not strung across road/nearby). I suppose the next attempt is satellite, which is what I have for TV. :sigh: but its much more expensive, and I think I'd have to change satellite providers. :groan:

*hugs laptop* at least I have my shiny new toy. My laptop has made traveling around a lot more fun, and gets use at my friends places where I can hop onto their cable systems. Also at coffee shops where I can use it to surf faster and try to download some of the vids for later viewing that I can't manage at home.
