Ok, that is all. I just wanted to share my pain with everyone. It's like, where do you even begin in order to explain to the guy that he just spewed complete jibberish, and also to convey just how pathetically little he knows about computers?

You need to realize one thing first. No matter how much you think you know someone knows more.

The guy in the OP must be related to one of my former co worker. This dude said his dial up modem at home was so special that it was so fast, as fast as our work T1 line. :Q

Well it could have been a really pathetic T1 line too.
There were times that the campus network would make me yearn for my speedy 56k ISA hardware modem back in the Pentium II days. Sometimes that campus Internet connection would just about grind to a halt.
