What does importance have to do with WANTING speed? I am a computer geek dang it! I ENJOY 768k/768k. Plus I do host domains and email and quake for friends and family. I also telecommute to work. I also do consulting for random tasks that sometimes involve internet related things. It makes doing what I do a heck of a lot easier. Not to mention that Quake 3 ping rates between 15-40 ROCK!!
