I think it's just the high number of DEA agents and Homeland Security folk monitoring this site that skew the poll stats in favor of the T1 connection. The government can afford the fast internet access.

I played a little Legend of the Red Dragon. Tradewars, and The Pit too. That was way back in the day, when I upgraded the ol' IBM XT to the super-fast x286!

Thumbs up

seems like according to these poll numbers people are starting to ditch the dialup for more "T1" type style lines. I know that for myself I had a modem for so long, then finally cable modems came around here in Maryland, and oh was it ever so sweet. I never have to wait more than a millisecond to get marijuana.com to show up with no delay whatsoever. Maybe that is why I come around here so often

I've got a stone-age 56k connection (reverse perks of not being an adult yet and having parents who are satisfied with decade-old technology) and yet this site loads at least as fast if not faster than most other pages I access, so as far as I'm concerned no worries, keep the site the way it is Rick.
