I guess it depends on what you're doing. If you upload a lot of pics for websites or e-bay or whatever, 256 would suck balls, especially for $79.95 per month, plus an "enrollment fee" of $149.00, plus installation fees and the inevitable yadda fucking yadda fees.

Cost is a problem.

You mean the County library, which might not have computers yet. Besides, libraries are run by the government, and books are bad, ok?

You know what the biggest objection to this kind of plan is?

LIBERTY!!!

Yeah, right. What a bunch of crap. All the people yelling about liberty, with their gay ass little snake flags, are full of shit. They don't like it because there's nothing it for them.

What they are too short sighted to see, is that the more money is there is being made, the more money there is being spent, and that benefits EVERYBODY.

Love it or hate it, internet based commerce is here to stay.

Adapt, or get out of the fucking way.
