Tuesday Twosome
Internet...

1. Your internet connection: DSL or dialup? Okay, let's hear the sorrowful wails....dial up.

2. Daily: How much time do you spend on your computer working? The better half of the day.
How much time do you spend on the internet? About 20 minutes max. My tasks don't require me to access the net to perform my job.

3. Have you met someone on the internet? And if so, have you met in person? Actually, I've been online since 1985 and I've met many wonderful people who have come and gone over the years. It's never been a romantic connection, though.

4. Emails: When you receive a humorous or pointless email from a friend, do you pass it on or "the emails dies at my inbox"? It depends. If I truly get a laugh out of it - which I mostly do - then I forward it. Yeah, I know about the 'elitist' that look down their noses and say it's ignorant and yet, another form of spam.

You know what, my life is stressful enough and full of "serious and productive things" to do and ponder. I want to smile and laugh as much as possible. If forwarding a .avi or .jpg or funny joke will give someone a much needed break from "productivity", then I'm all for it! If someone explicitly requests that I not forward jokes, etc., of course, I respect their wishes and stop sending them.

5. Pop-up ads: Annoying or "I ignore them so it doesn't bother me."? I run Google's toolbar with automatic "pop up stopper" on IE and it works flawlessly. I've never been happier with blocking pop ups. They're definitely annoying!
