1 edit | The real problem. with slow connections is the inability to keep up with all of the patches, updates, alerts, and notices. I was over at a friends house looking at his computer. His connection speed was 50K. His anti-virus was out of date by over a year, no firewall, none of the Microsoft updates, no anti spyware, nothing. it took 28 minutes to download Ad-Aware, it was going to take several hours to download all of the Microsoft "fixes" I couldn't even do a house call with Pc-Cillin to check for Viruses. To keep up with all if the fixes coming down the line with such a connection your computer would be spending large amounts of time just downloading all of this stuff. I downloaded WM 10 beta last night on my machine in less then 10 seconds, I did the same with WM 9 on Ed's machine and it took 40 minutes. Beavis and Butthead had the right expression for this; "this sucks, and I don't like things that suck!"
