OT: Test your Internet Connection speed plus other interesting stuff... for free - 10/30/04 11:00 AM
You will need Java Runtime installed to do the tests. This is a good measuring tool to gauge your download, upload, and internet browsing speed. 'Maxspeed' shows your maximum thoroughput capability whilst 'YourSpeed' tells you your realtime (actual) speed. The other utilities are interesting too.
You can also determine if you are having connection speed problems by comparing your speed with actual sample graphs with true to life statistics for various Modem connection types. Also you can determine if your ISP and or Modem is giving you stated and or claimed speeds. In other words; is that 56K Modem really giving you 56K {limited to 53K by the FCC} speed capability? Same holds true with a Cable or DSL Modem. Or is your ISP shortchanging you by saying in your contract you get "****" this amount of speed (throughput/bandwidth) when in actuality you are consistently only getting "**" this amount?

Btw Gary, that pic of the new you looks like your sucking your gut in big time for the camera. Am I right? Even if everything else looks slim and trim and you still have a considerable ponch you could be putting yourself at risk for health related problems. According to the latest medical news anyway. Alcohol, notably your Kickapoo Juice is full of sugar and carbs and the resultant outcome is it goes straight to your waist as fat as you well know. Same with Beer drinkers. I've seen beer drinkers with bigger guts than a woman who's 9 months pregnant carrying twins.
Of course exercise is a great way to trim down excess belly fat. We all could use more exercise in are daily lives that's for sure.
On the upside, you look a whole lot better than you did in the "before" pic Gar..
