It's either premium cable TV or cable modem for me; can't afford both. Whichever you choose, it costs waaaay too much.

OTOH, when CompuServe opened its doors to the Internet back in the mid 90's, it took me an hour to d/l a 1.44M floppy disk image on dialup. Now I can suck down a Knoppix ISO from a local mirror in a half hour.

Oh, per my notes, installing that plastik package from KDELook.org on Knoppix required the installation of both "libqt3c102" and "kwin4", and installed it under the package name ""kde-themes-plastik".
