I'm up at my folks' place for the holiday, where the Net connection still manages to be terribly slow despite the cable modem. Actually, it's probably the 96 cold-cranking megs of RAM that the PC has. But it's slow. Still I perservere, and hope that the connection at my sister's house tomorrow will be faster.

Of course, my parents have the NASA Channel, so in the end it's a wash.
