    If you ask me, the only dumb question is one not asked :)

    Dial Up Warning. Usually when you see that in the title the post contains a lot of pics.

    This actually begs the question:

    Who actually is on dial-up?

    I mean, you'd have to live in the middle of nowhere.

    Dial up is going the way of rotary phones and cassette tapes. Now, I'm really going to show my age, I remember 8-tracks!

    ....I still have dial up. Hence why I spend the extra money for unlimited browser on my smart phone. ;)

    I appreciate the DUW because I frequently check the forums on my smart phone and I don't want to pay for tapatalk. LOL! Sometimes things with DUW don't load well or properly on my smart phone.
