I know, but it's also called "Rent, Utilities, Loans, Car etc." and DSL would cost me at least $40 a month. Hhmmmm - nothing in the budget I can cut out to make up that difference. This computer was free from my old company that went out of business. Or I wouldn't have one at all! A year being out of work takes a toll. I have had a new job for 2 1/2 years now and only owe $5000 of the original $14000 of bills. Counting pennies really does work!
