Where do you surf from?

**SimonMallion** · October 10th, 2001

I thought I would try a poll for the first time. I was just wondering where people accessed this messageboard from. I use my PC at work because I dont have a connection at home, plus lets face it, work is boring, this is a lot more fun.

**Xeven** · October 10th, 2001

UncleClive you probably should have added "from work and from home"

anyway.. mine is mostly from work.. ehehe:P

Work is BOOOOORRRRINNNNG!!

**SimonMallion** · October 10th, 2001

Ooops, yeah good idea, I didnt think about that. And I posted this in the wrong forum, could an admin move it please? (Sorry!) (And also, why cant you edit your own polls?)

**Bgnome** · October 10th, 2001

you cant edit your own polls because that in theory may allow you to play around with the results.
moved to off topic..

I'm a-comin' live from work and home (broadband on both counts)!

That is when my sister (boooooo!) isn't playin' C-Strike at home

. The boss found out and warned me :eek: . . . gotta be more careful

School and home... 56k at home (dammit!) and a T1 or somethin at school.

Edited the poll stuff for no particular reason.

At home only (school once, but had to delete the cookie manually, so I gave up

)

**Shiori** · October 11th, 2001

I mostly access the Internet from school, and on school dialup from home. Result: Zero ISP costs.

Trouble is, i only get 33.6kbps at home.

56K at home, T1 at school...life ain't fair

. Nowadays, I get my friend to download my stuff for me, then have him burn it onto a CD for me to have

Arpanet · October 11th, 2001

Heh heh... exact same deal I have. I've gotten so much from him... a friend with a cable modem and a 16x CD burner is a very good thing to have

Thanks Ryos for the extra option, it makes a bit more sense now

Nobody has chosen the internet cafe option yet, I nearly did the other week when our office had the Nimda virus thingy and they pulled our connection to the outside world.

**Shiori** · October 11th, 2001

i guess surfing from school counts as "work", eh? i based my choice on that.

**Prafull** · October 11th, 2001

I mostly surf from home.Sometimes I surf from my friend's home and when there is something wrong with my computer or internet connection then I have to go to cyber cafes to check my mail.

But these messageboards are almost always from home.Though I have a 56k internal modem but I prefer external 33.3K modem coz that internal modem sometimes hangs my computer.
