I finally had a cable modem hooked up and it is working well. I can surf the internet with ease and don't miss aol at all. I downloaded a firewall and a pop-up blocker which are both handy. The pop-up blocker is particularly helpful. It works so well that I have to disable it everytime I want to bring up comments on a blog. So now the only time I ever get those annoying pop-up ads is when I am reading blogs. And for the record, no I don't want my penis enlarged nor do I care to speak to Sexy Suzie.
