19. Skinner, could you mail cds with the video to
us poor, 2nd class, dial up denizens of DU?

Or will there be so many new bells and whistles on DU3 that we won't be able to access it at all, so it won't matter if we know how to post?

DU is one of the few progressive sites that is still accessible without an hour's wait for loading. And already I'm anticipating having to wait forever for all the ads to load because I can't afford the new minimum "donations".

Shine, I can't even afford the broadband or the cable, even if there was cable strung on my dirt road, which TPTB decline to do.

I don't think I'm the only one on DU in this or a similar position.

Thanks for listening, :hi:
