(Oh wait, I can now, and it isn't pretty...)<br/><br/>Isaak, I felt empty..<br/><br/>jl, thanks for the txt :)<br/><br/>Simone, ya the increased speed is definitely a good ending! <i>Heel goed</i>! (I should be practicing my Dutch ;) )<br/><br/>Alison, so true, and what really got me was how trivial so much of the news here was. It's like the tv stations decide that on the weekends we only want to know about sport and celebrities, so they spend 5 minutes on "world" news and the rest of the time on who won what game (and who's in trouble for striking another player), and the latest sightings of Celebrity X. Bah! Hi Iris, I can’t imagine being without it! (Oh wait, I can now, and it isn’t pretty…)

Isaak, I felt empty..

jl, thanks for the txt :)

You have to listen to or watch what someone else decides to give you, when they decide to schedule it. You can't seek out what you want. Worst of all - you can't comment!

I guess that's the price to pay for being so dependent on the Internet. Withdrawal symptoms!!!
