Broadband Get

I got my broadband kit today. A bit of a runaround just going to fetch it - I got out just in time for the 4 PM bus... only to realise that I'd left the card in the house and have to go back for it, thus missing that bus. I was freaking out a little as to whether the 4:30 bus would allow me enough time to get up to the post office before it closed (at 5 PM), but I was overestimating how long the bus trip would take, and got there in plenty of time.

Anyway, I'm not going to be using it for everything, the limit on it is only 400 MB, but I think it will make itself worthwhile for those big downloads I just can't tackle because of the size. For example, I have already fixed up a few problems I've been having with my Norton but haven't been able to fix before because my dial-up is too slow.

For normal things like reading LJ and fic, I'll keep using the dial-up so I can save the monthly allowance for those big things.
