				| I'm just curious what kind of connection everyone has.  If people are using dial-up connections to read the forums, I'd rather not make the avatar file size too large. _________________

				| Actually I have 56k modem, but my connection is 28.8k. If I use the work account (which will rarely happen) I'm up to 56k. _________________

				| DSL. Though I know from another forum that some folks like to try and take their laptops on vacation so they can visit the forum and they may not always be able to use DSL on their laptop while on vacation whereas they may be able to do so at their home. _________________
