Re: One problem with this guy

I read an article on MSN a week or two ago, concerning debt troubles. One specific piece of advice was to substitute high speed internet with a $9.99 dial-up plan. So there are those out there (I'm sure he considers them the 'unwashed masses') who DO prefer dial-up over hsi.
That's not "preferring" dial-up over HSI, that's not being able to afford HSI.

Just because someone buys a Geo Metro rather than a Lexus, doesn't mean that they prefer the Metro.

Doesn't mean they don't, either. I think you are missing the point. Maybe I need to clarify. Substitute the word 'prefer' with 'choose'.
