    Charles;
    I have been able to download and watch some of the video clips sent to 
me. I can view the clips in real time as they download without all the stops 
and skips. I was able to watch a 3 1/2 minute clip that took 45 minutes to 
download on my dialup. Makes the internet fun again.

    Hughes.net was just too expensive for me and I wasn't comfortable with 
the rain fade possibilities. Microwave is not bothered by that. About the 
only thing that bothers microwave would be the high activity solar flares, 
but those are rare.

                        Gene
