Hmmm ... He assumed that because of its age it had ( and he was correct ) a PCI that was a 10/100 ( greek to me ) that topped out at 100 MBPS and the newer models ( computers ) had a 10/100/1000 card/interface

Robbing Peter to pay Paul today. Just glad I found an organ donor! The factory in Spain is closed all month. Now we can plant strawberries.

The other couples were a perfect blend of B/W, Gay female, or gay male. NTTAWWT of course. My only issue is that it's clearly forced and does not represent the real world, but rather a Liberal screen writer's view of utopia.
And the only real man is a dirty redneck...NTTAWWT

Mbps - Mega bits (not bytes) per second data transfer rate. 1000 is also called Gigabit

A lot of American and British shows seem like more diversity propaganda than entertainment now. I understand diversity means whites have to share with everybody else, don't have a problem with getting realistic about it, but in the media diversity means mostly black; they're over represented while Hispanics, a bigger percentage of the population, don't come close to the number of parts blacks get. Seems unfair, I'd think Hispanics have a right to complain more than the ones that are loudest about it. I'll admit it, I don't watch some shows & movies because of all the in your face race and gender stuff, but some I've watched and liked had non white lead characters, that's not the issue for me. I've watched some South African shows I liked that had more than half black characters, and somehow they pulled it off without seeming like it was all about race. Other folks can watch artsy shows with social messages, not for me.

I get 18-19mbs on Spectrum. It's either that or spend a whole lot more when what I have is plenty fast for what I use it for. I wonder how long they'll keep using the slow equipment for the few holdouts like me - you can't even get this speed with new accounts.
