Woot! DSL!!

My dad, in whose house I am living, has finally joined the 21st century and gotten DSL!! I am _so_ jazzed. Dial-up can go do something inappropriate with a goat or something for all I care. Well, at least once I'm done with it. See, only dad's computer has the DSL. We need an ethernet cable to run down to my computer. So mine here is still only dial-up capable. Which would be fine if dad's computer weren't fussier than my daughter. Whenever it's shut down or restarted, sometimes it doesn't restart. It'll show this black screen with the word "Compaq" and a blinking cursor in the corner, and just stay there. Sometimes for _days_. And it's doing that now. So although we have this super-nice, fast connection in the house (finally!), I'm still stuck using my computer and pokey-dokey dial-up. Grrrrrr.

But I am still very excited about the fact that the DSL is there, and at least a possibility.
