I just didn't want the team to forget us. Dial-up is my only option at |
| 23 |
this time, except DirecTv which is to expensive. DSL is coming, I |
| 24 |
think. I said this somewhere before, I would hate to know I lost |
| 25 |
everything and had to start over from a 2007 CD. It's not the little |
| 26 |
kinks in the upgrade that would bother me, it would be the download time. |

I don't currently have a DVD drive but plan to get one soon. I'm not |
| 29 |
sure what is on there but it would be nice if there were a LOT of |
| 30 |
distfiles stored on there since they have a lot of room on them. A |
| 31 |
regular update would be nice too. Twice a year, around February and |
| 32 |
again in July or August would be nice. I mention that in case there is |
| 33 |
a gcc upgrade or some other huge fix. Even the *.1 version being the |
| 34 |
second version would be cool. |
| 35 |

| 36 |
These are just thoughts. |
