Yup. Bandwidth is the key. I've had a cable modem for about 7 or 8 years now and can't live without it. It turns your computer into an appliance you can extract information from easily. It's like having a library sitting on your desk.
For example, I fly quite a bit on business. I make my reservations on line, check in online and check the weather and like online. I pay my bills online (OK, Tina pays our bills online). I talk about bikes online. I post my pictures on a smugmug account so other folks can see them. The problem is that my family is still using dialup, so they don't see the computer as the information appliance it can be.
If they had bandwidth, they'd change their mind. However, my dad says "I don't use the computer that much". Well, the reason he doesn't use it that much is because it takes him a half hour to download a photo. It's kind of a vicious circle.
