CNN: Obama’s lying about William Ayers

[Fantasy Chaser]

wow can't believe some people still use dial up...
No offense...
But broad band is available pretty much everywhere for the same price as dial up...
Just don't understand...

No DSL or cable in our area, and satallite is too much $$$.

It's not available here. The only possible thing we could get would be satellite, and that is definitely much more expensive than dial-up - as well as having installation costs. And even at that, it would be iffy; I read the literature from Hughesnet, and they said you have to have an open shot at the southern sky. Well, how far above the horizon it needs to be, I don't know, but we've got very tall trees just to the south of us, and they're on someone else's property, and no chance they'll ever be cut down - at least, not with the current owners of the property. We don't even have cable here.

Do you know there are places in St. Louis, MO. that still don't have DSL available? Unless it's happened in the last year. I know my granddaughter's in-laws didn't have it available the last I talked to them.

If we were to get Hughesnet, or something similar, though, it would have the advantage of FC & I being able to be online at the same time.

Edit: I didn't see FC's post when I wrote this.

Actually you didn't have to respond to rodog. You actually ended your first post on the issue saying it's nota vailable where you are.

Just thought I would point that out.

My parents had or have Satallite. They are about 7 miles or so from town. They don't have broad band out there yet. I think they have had a tough time with satallite.

It is kind of strange (no offense) that some people think broadband is avail everywhere. I guess I have been guilty of that thinking before...then I went for a drive over the Mountains and figured out even my cell doesn't work in some places.

Is it supposed to be surprising that Obama lied, or is it surprising that CNN said he lied? For us dial-up cripples, we need a little extra info when the main thing is a video. I'm not sure we have any other dial-up cripples on this site any more besides FC & me - and we don't have anything else available out here.

Yep, your first post that was responded to already explained why you are on dialup.

Well, I guess I thought rodog didn't quite believe it.
