I only got it once. :/ |

Well, I tried the other way around, not updating as often but I have it |
| 45 |
all planned out now. The problem with waiting is that it builds up. I |
| 46 |
would hate to sync after a month or so then find out OOo and KDE was |
| 47 |
updated, plus some otehrs for good measure. Just OOo takes me about 24 |
| 48 |
hours to download. Yes, I get the compiled version. This is Gentoo |
| 49 |
after all. ;-) Plus, I ran into a config nightmare. To many updates |
| 50 |
at once for me. I'm not a guru. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
The way I do is this, I connect around 10:00PM, check my emails and |
| 53 |
sometimes the weather. Then I start the sync process and tell it to |
| 54 |
fetch the new stuff afterwards, got to love the &&. While it is doing |
| 55 |
that, I go for my nightly soak in the tub. I have a skin disorder and I |
| 56 |
have spent several hours in the tub. This works well because at the |
| 57 |
very least the fetch has started and sometimes it has been fetching for |
| 58 |
a while. It depends on how many things are updated and how long I soak. |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
As for googleearth, well, dial-up has taught me patience. It works, it |
| 61 |
just takes a really long time to get there. Sometimes another soak in |
| 62 |
the tub. LOL |
