I survived for four yrs. on dial-up in rural WV. I didn't expect anyone else to change their life style or preferences for my convenience, I suffered through. I would start a download for a Jacquie Lawson card and go off and take my shower, come back, still loading, go off, get dressed, come back, still loading, go brush teeth and comb hair, sometimes it would be ready for viewing. Yes, it was a nuisance, but I survived and now am on wireless. Lucky me. UTube was an unknown quantity for me in those days. I survived.
