I'm on dialup with a serial modem. Someone kindly sent me a set of cd iso's 
for FC6, but the F7 cd iso's took about 10 days to download, although I was 
listening to Internet radio also, so bandwidth was a bit restricted for the 
downloads. Thankfully I'm very patient, and as far as I'm concerned, it takes 
as long as it takes for a download.

I'll have to psych myself up a bit before going for F8, as another 10 days of 
downloading isn't much fun. 

Just a bit of rambling on.

Nigel.
