Or is it like back in the olden days when you'd DIAL UP a business and talk to a REAL person????
That dial-up stuff.....definitely the olden days.

Swimdawg, remember the old squealing 28K modems of the late 1990's? Tied up your phone line also, unless you sprang for a second phone line. I sprang for high speed internet 9 years ago and never looked back. I believe I saw/heard recently that 94% of Americans who have a computer at home use some kind of high speed internet (through cable or the phone company).
