Use your computer. It's much more convenient and won't spread the virus. Just
don't lick your monitor!
But then Greg would probably have to upgrade from his 1200 Baud dial-up
modem.

The strange thing is, if you turned off graphics in your browser, it
should run pretty fast. ATMs ran on 2400 BPS modems and the lag was
processing, not data transmission. I have spent way more time than I
like to think about looking at ATM data streams. The bank loop wasn't
particularly fast either and it was handling a bunch of teller
stations. Banking is basically text until you start sending check
images.
If I am just doing this usenet stuff, it is hard to tell if I am on
dial up or broadband.
Don't you remember Stand-In transacitons when the back end computers
were not as fast as they are now?
