PFG, Picture Framing God
OK, I've got it up and more-or-less running. I still have some stuff to transfer from the old one (this is a change, because I usually don't replace until the old one is toast.) I have the external hard drive attached, so I won't have to go through this SetUpHell again in 5 years or so. Anyway, I was trying to download some of my favorite games, and have reluctantly come to the conclusion that dial-up just isn't going to cut it. So now here are the questions: 1) can you techies explain DSL, Broadband, cable in simpleish terms? 2) do I have to change my email addresses if I go with any of the faster connections? 3) what about firewalls? I don't even know what I should be concerned about here. There will no doubt be other questions, but this will give me a start...
