OT .. hiker90, that person needs to see if his/her ISP has an optional spam filter. I enabled earthlink's spam filter on my email account recently, and the results have been amazing. Only a little spam, and AFAIK everything I really want, coming through. Ron

But even with Mobile High Speed, that took over 40 minutes. So I concluded that wireless Internet connections were cool, but fast Internet connections were cooler -snip- But even with Mobile High Speed, that took over 40 minutes -snip- At first I thought there must be some mistake, but AT&T wouldn't budge. A point I've been making for a period of time is the lack of differentiation being made by VZ and PCS regarding their high speed data capabilities vs. their competition which includes AWS's "high speed" data offerings. This person took 40 minutes to download 200 emails. Good grief. Even in my dial-up days it wouldn't take 40 minutes to download 200 emails. Yet, he still thinks that what AWS is offering him is "high speed."
