Temple ball, they lead 57-55. Besides wasting my time, this addiction also cost me a few bucks, since dialing-up here is far from free. Temple's two final timeouts alone cost me 10 Kc. Besides obvious benefits like e-mail, online access allows me to read my hometown newspaper, allows for inexpensive Web phone conversations with my family, and now I'm even able to make transactions via my bank back home. All of this is possible only when I can overcome the archaic analog phone line in my apartment, which requires me to pulse dial.
Speed is also a deterrent.
My modem has never connected faster then 28.8k, the all-time low when I'm Web surfing in the States. I guess there's no hope for me. But at least I know the score.
