Heres the text of the FCC report regarding "open" access. I have yet to read it. The FCC and the Unregulation of the Internet fcc.gov The bottom line: Fundamental lessons learned from the Commission's thirty year deregulatory approach towards data networks include: ? Do not automatically impose legacy regulations on new technologies, ? When Internet-based services replace traditional legacy services, begin to deregulate the old instead of regulate the new; and ? Maintain a watchful eye to ensure that anticompetitive behavior does not develop, do not regulate based on the perception of potential future bottlenecks, and be careful that any regulatory responses are the minimum necessary and outweigh the costs of regulation.

<<Hope ATHM gets the problems sorted out. No way its that you have "only" 32Meg of Ram. I wish they wouldnt come up with these lame excuses.>> IMO, that lame excuse is actually possible just not likely. I am running Windows 98 with 64 MB ram and find that once in awhile I need to reboot otherwise my computer slows to a crawl. It was the same with Windows 95. When a program runs, a certain amount of memory is allocated from what is available. When the program terminates, this allocation should be released so Windows 95 can reallocate it. I speculate that for various reasons memory sort of gets used up and is sort of permanently allocated even though the original programe that required it has terminated. So the more memory you have the less often you would have to reboot which master clears everything and start fresh. When I trade stocks I like to run all kinds of programs at the same time and flip between them. Somehow, I may be screwing up the memory allocation, whatever, my computer slows down after a day or so of this and it works normally after rebooting. I am not claiming that this is the Educator's problem with slow transmission speed. I have to agree with you too that it is kind of a lame excuse to make that suggestion, he should have said reboot and try it again. When starting after a fresh boot, 32MB is plenty to then do a speed test. If it runs great, then he may have had a shortage of memory problem if it runs the same, then the problem is not due to only having 32MB, it is another problem. Regards, Wingman
