Yes, I'm still on dial up. I live in an area that doesn't have Broadband access and satelite is too expensive. I can't view YouTube. Friends here on Mylot and elsewhere post or send me links to YouTube scenes and I would love to watch, but alas, I cannot. Does anyone know of an alternative? Is there anything I can do to see these things that I would really like to see?

Hello! where you already able to install java application? maybe it might help. 'cause you need that so the vids would play. If you haven't yet here's a site where you can download it for free: www.java.com/en/ Hope this work. Have a good one! ^_^

I do have Java. It's just my internet connection. I can watch them, but only a tiny bit at a time, so I can't get it. I've tried letting the whole thing load and then seeing if it will play complete from there, but it doesn't. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to keep looking for broadband. Thanks

Awww bummer. I posted a really great link of a crazy psychotic "God Warrior" that I'll bet you would get a kick out of. Alternative? Why yes... I have just the thing. My superior story telling and acting skills! ~~~~~ Scene opens with a very LARGE and grumpy woman riding in the back seat of the car. Destination? Home, after finishing a week long stay at a Pagan household for the Fox show "Trading Spouses". Cut to scene: Her home. [i]Her three kids and husband lounge comfortably in thier living room, awaiting the arrival of their beloved wife/mother. The oldest daughter engages the youngest daughter in a game of Simon Says. The youngest daughter is the picture of childlike innosence, blond ringlets flop carelessly around her face as she enjoys the time spent with her family. They are laughing, and enjoying each others company. Such a happy family! The car pulls up and drops the mother off in front of her house.[/i] [b]Queue dark, forboding music. [/b] [i]She walks up to the door like a giant black cloud of disgust. Her kids rush to the door, excited to see her. Relieved to see their mother home at last they throw their arms around her neck in jubilation. [/i] "They were so DARK SIDED!!!" [i]The woman screams. [/i] She breaks into sobbs. "It's not GOD!! It's not CHRISTIAN!!! SHE HAS TAMPERED IN DARK SIDED STUFF!!! Her eyes open wide and its as if you can see the flicker of hell fire behind them. "SHE HAS TAMPERED IN DARK SIDED STUFF!!" Her oldest daughter, confused, askes: "Why are you mad at us?" The woman ignores the question and adresses the camera crew. "I DONT WANT YOUR TAINTED MONEY! I REBUKE IT IN THE NAME OF GOD!! I"M A GOD WARRIOR AND I DONT WANT ANYTHING WITH TAINTED..... ANYTHING AROUND MY FAMILY." "GARGOYLS!!" "PSYCHICS!!" "DARK SIDED!!" Her husband tried to calm her down by saying "Hunny I'm glad your home." She ignores him and again yells at the camera crew. "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE! IN JESUS NAME I PRAY! I DONT WANT THIS MONEY, ITS TAINTED, I JUST WANT MY GOD AND MY FAMILY... I'M A GOD WARRIOR!!!" She turns to yell at her daughter. "I NEEDED YOUR PRAYERS!!" Her daughter says "Momma I was praying for you - every single day." "BUT I NEEDED YOUR PRAYERS!!! HER KIDS DONT GO TO CHURCH OR BELIEVE IN GOD!!" This goes on for a good 5 more mins. The woman repeats over and over that she is a God Warrior and she rebukes the money in the name of the Lord. Everyone who dosent believe in Jesus needs to "GET THE HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE, IN JESUS NAME I PRAY!!" At the end of the episode there is a message to inform viewers: "Upon further review, Margaret decided to keep the money." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for the transcript Tee. Yours was one of the discussions that this post is about. It looked like something i could really sink my teeth into, yet I couldn't even see it.

I remember the dial up days. It seemed such a treat to be able to surf the internet even when it took hours just to get anything done. And there were popups to make your efforts so onerous. Broadband should be available everywhere. Cheers!!

If you want to see online video, then the problem will be with you always untill you can upgrade your connection. Cause every video on any site, including YouTube, will take sometime to load. And that will need much bandwidth. So if you want to view videos on any site you have to wait long before the video loads and you can see them easily. Its not the problem with YouTube.

Oh, I know that the problem is with my connection. I was just hoping there was a way around it. Thanks
