I'm in a class at a local branch of PSU.. how nice it is to have a high speed connection. Downloaded a 2 meg file faster than I could blink. Yum :)

Before I got my cable modem, I would bring my computer to school and plug into the network. I was downloading 200mb files in less than an hour. Those were the good ole' days.

I'll be enjoying it for another week. Then I'm going back to 9600 baud cellular connection.

The school I went to, James Madison University, was voted the "most wired school in the south."

We have Fiber straight to the desktop in our labs. Schwing

I'm on a 100mbps connection now.

hehehe... oooh yea, one T1 line dedicated to my dorm building! I can stream MP3s anywhere on campus from my desktop in my room :) And with the impending 11Mbps wireless network due to be completed by April, I'll have net-access literally ANYWHERE on campus.
