This must work better with high speed... Watching online videos on 'Pay-by-the-byte' dial-up makes it faster (and cheaper) to see the world by bicycle.

Hint ...don't live in the boonies in USA (especially a Nationally Protected Scenic Area) if you want to see the world on your computer.

I keep a set of encyclopedias around for my intellectual needs.

Btw, haven't heard of any airliners diverted lately due to durian in the cargo hold
11 hrs ago I celebrated Thanksgiving with Durian delights for dessert since no Cranberries were available. (yum )
