Last Sunday 18 July 2004 06:28, Silvan was like: > But most of the people I know are too cheap to pay for this, or too poor.= =A0 > We're a long way from living in a world where everybody on the internet h= as > broadband. The way round the financial thing is to share a connection if it's possible= =2E I=20 live in a shared house, it took us a little while to convince the one membe= r=20 of the household who doesn't use the internet for business (we offered to p= ay=20 her share). We figured that broadband worked out much the same as installin= g=20 a second phone line and that the increase in contactability would bring in= =20 the required spondoolix. I don't think any of us have really noticed the=20 extra expense. We're all on benefits / low incomes. The other thing to bear in mind, is that those who have multiple machines m= ay=20 want to keep their music box / DAW off the network, so any installation CD= =20 for a music system really should contain everything you need. Anyhow, I think we're probably in agreement on the salient points here.=20 Possibly I should stop before the topic wanders too far from the OP. cheers tim hall |
