Dial-up sucks!

The worst thing is that with most people now having access to some high-speed connections, EVERYBODY seems to be posting a multitude of pictures on their blogs. (Except Jimbo at Parkway Rest Stop who can't figure out how to do so on Wordpress 2.5.) The result of the two (slow dial-up and gazillions of photos) is that each visit takes forever to initially load. So long does it take that I can drink a whole cup of joe while waiting for some of them to materialize. That, of course, makes me even more impatient and sometimes leads me to abort the damn loading process in frustration. It's a self-feeding negativity loop.
