Uphill Both Waysism

Because I'm having about 2 minutes in every 10 of internet connection right now. Which is something I remember pretty well from my days in the 90s of dialup, and also how it took about 9 years to download a megabyte. And, I dunno. Has broadband shortened my patience, here? Were we all just ignorant in 1995, and willing to put up with the repeated attempts to refresh to make things work, the slow speeds, the dropping out, because that's just how it was, man? Or is that, you know, that sort of thing was ok in 1995, but this isn't 1995, it's 2008, and seriously, what the Jesus here people?

I'm tempted to go with the latter. Hey, working infrastructure. Get it right, guys.

Isn't the internet wonderful? Except mine works and yours doesn't. HAH! :)
