It's also frustrating to be back in front of your laptop and be stymied by the slow connection fuckin' again. A news station recently had a story about why connections run so slow, and the conclusion is it could be anything on the transmission line, from the Internet service provider all the way to your laptop.

So I'm just putzing around, reading through one page while one I clicked, like, two minutes ago is still loading. If this fucking keeps up, why don't I just go back to Netzero and dial-up? It's the same speed and a whole lot cheaper.
