Security Patches by Modem? Forget it!
Scott Granneman, 2004-03-24

Let's face it - there is no way for dial-up users on any major operating system to keep their computers up-to-date and patched. OK, maybe "no way" is an exaggeration. How about, "a difficult, burdensome, time-consuming, very prone to failure way?"

Actually that is the same as Japan. The country side does not have support but all the cities that have an established population have it. I diddnt think red necks surfed the net so much.... I could see one standing on a surf board with a keyboard under it. I am moving to the country side this week and may be in danger of loosing my "Hikari Fiber" this will be the deciding point, if I can bring it, I am gone. If not, well, I guess I have deal with City folk
