But if it saves time, its worth the extra money. That is why when
I was growing up in Marin County, I was willing to spend an extra 50
cents each way to take an express bus, for longer trips in the
county, about 40 minutes vs 2 1/2 hours (and more buses
without using the express). From a young age, I considered
saving time to be more important, whether you can afford it
or not.

If you are going to use dialup, at least have a second phone
line and use two modems and two phones to double the
connection speed to about 100K.
