   One reason you have so few dialup readers is that much of your info is only accessible as video. Video is impossible with dialup. As a dialup reader, I am about to go away.

     Sorry to see you go, but after so many years, I unfortunately can’t design for the 5% of folks still using dialup. I do continue to write all my tips out step-by-step as well, however. So don’t go far!
