yes i'm on dialup. damn i hate it!

We in africa are not as privileged as you 1st worlders! ;)
nah just kidding we do have broadband here but i'm just to cheap to buy it. Well actually that is because its a F***in rip off! Our broadband is well over 200% higher than anywhere else in the world! and we earn well over 200% less.....
So basically i have to suffer here on dialup for a while until things change...
The irritating thing is that i have f***in thousands of shots that i wanna post but just can't because its like a 2 hour process just to drop ONE image post! ( our lines are very slow;) )
Oh and our phone calls are also hellishly expensive! Oh and so are our cameras!! damn, now i'm just feeling sorry for myself! :)

LOL, i'm glad there is a bitch'n moan forum!

anyway... keep it real... i'm gonna try drop sum image posts later!
check them out...

Take your time, DRS. You'll be able to spread out your material for an extended period, which is probably better than one huge post which will get buried in the queue in a day or two. I, on the other hand, have such a limited amount of stuff that it makes me feel terrible to not be able to post very often, even if I can do it in a second. Additionally, I shoot film, so I need to get it processed and then scan it (sometimes many times) until I can get a dust-free image. You'll be okay, man. It gives us all something to look forward to.

Nice rant, DRS :)

It makes me feel bad because I know there are some extremely beautiful women in that part of the world, and it sucks you can't share them like you would like to! Hang in there.
