Media Yeee haaaa! moved out of the slow lane.

the cable guy just left after hooking up my cable modem. Actually He ran new cable, and I did the install.

A quick speed test showed 912kbps down and 116kbps up.
What would have been a 3+ hour download was done in 5 minutes.
how did I live without cable? (Frankly I was getting bored with the internet due to all the click and wait.)

Well I'm off to find some good broadband stuff to look at, do some downloading, and such.

feel free to leave a link or two that I shouldn't miss.

Get a firewall up ASAP. Then AIM, ICQ, IRC or Yahoo Instant Messenger.
