Well, for a year and a half I'd been thinking that my slow connection on Road Runner was because we live across the street from a Dell office campus.  Kinda figured they were stealing all my bandwidth.

Then last month my old computer blew up and I had to get a new one.  I figured maybe I could salvage the data off the old hard drives... all the stuff I was working on like HTML files, graphic files, etc. but no.  That is apparently not to be for now.

The good news is that my connection speed with Roadrunner went up dramatically with the new computer.  It wasn't Dell at all.  It was the old computer that was giving me a cable connection which acted like dial-up most times.
