There must be a word or a term to describe this angst, Wordwind. If there isn't, we should coin one. Any ideas? "Download overload" is the best I can come up with for now.

Yes, like Max I mostly dream of ADSL! In the meantime I browse with three windows of IE open at once, so at least something *seems to be happening most of the time.

My dictionary says that factoid should mean a lie masquerading as a fact.

For me, the pages have been coming up faster the last couple of days--mostly. Has anyone else had this happen?

I've got broadband access at home, and it still ain't fast. Mind you, it's a bit better today.
To answer the question: vegetate, mostly.

My problem has been long waits for windows to change. I can't tell when it is AWAD server being asleep and when it is my ISP timing out. Pacbell's DSL leaves a lot to be desired.

Sip coffee (decaf only)
Dust the desk
Pat the dog (she's always at, or next to my feet)
Polish my glasses.
Clean the screen with"Endust for electronics."
Switch clothes from washer to dryer.
Fold dried clothes
Browse a catalogue (Christmas editions proliferating like hangers in an unused closet)
And when desperate and all the above done :
Blow on the screen to make it show stuff (it always worked for my Dad at stop lights)
sometimes it works --strains of eerie music in background
Reading this over it seems these are all girl things ... what do you guys do?

Jackie - Yes! It has picked up speed, back to its original tempo. We must be going through the same DNS. WW - AWAD is becoming, by far, a leader in "fluff free" load time, making next to no time (except a sip of coffee's worth) before my mouse is waiting for me... as my 384 SDSL has been beri-beri good to me. (...but then again, my concept of *patience seems to be askew...  ) "Hippopotamus", as a spacer, seems to produce a rather long second to me... but, my concept of patience *seems to be askew.
