I’ve had high-speed Internet access for years—a godsend for someone like me who suffers from chronic impatience. Over the years the price of a speedy connection has dropped dramatically, but still costs at least twice as much as a dial-up account. Is it worth the price? The answer depends on what you want to do: http://www.learnthenet.com/english/features/larry.htm

 

Imagine having Counting Crows play at your next party. Or Dennis Miller MCing.  During these lean economic times, the price tag may be a bit rich for these A-list performers, but there are plenty of less costly choices. So fantasize a little by perusing a booking list of celebrity acts: http://www.learnthenet.com/english/features/cooltool.htm
