Training

Not sure this belongs here but I would like to see the online training available as a CD one could purchase. I'm sure I'm not the only one who doesn't have a high speed connection. The videos take about 1 1/2 hours each or more to download and while they are downloading the computer is pretty much tied up as attempting to do other tasks slows the video and the other tasks run slower also.

I, for one, would gladly pay an extra $10.00 to have the ability to purchase a CD of the lessons.

Pat,

I didn't realise that it would take so long to download them ... gosh that is a long time.

I guess living in the country does have some disadvantages. We've been trying for 3 years to get DSL out here but the line that services us serves about 500 people probably 50 of whom use computers. Hard to believe in this day and age, isn't it?

Pat ...

We had the same trouble but now they have upgraded and we can get broadband. However, before that I used Onspeed for a year or so and it was good for general internet browsing ... price was very reasonable too:

Thanks for that Wendy.

I'll try it out. Last night we loaded in a download manager that supposedly would pick up where it left off if the lines failed but it then doubled the download time.
