2) sorry for ya, I lived in an area for quite some time, then lucked out and clearwire moved in, but before that I would hit the parents with every piece of storage media I could find, toss it in a grocery bag, and abuse their cable modem

Its a hassle but one could digitize in location A, compress it in a multipart file, then burn cd's fill memory sticks, and shove the last 2mb on a palm pilot and upload when they had a good connection agin

You seem to be the only one interested in doing that, so im offering other suggestions, sorry if my post's seem brash
