Once again, being the rebel computer user that I am, I get pushed out of the knowing world. I have finally gotten through to the ASDL company and got my user name etc., so that I could check my MB usage as well as throughput. Unfortunately, the nice little pop-up for MB usage merely says, I.E. needed. I use Firefox and Safari is the default browser as my computer is an Apple. They only support I.E. at this time– no matter that Firefox and Opera browser are used on the MicroSoft platform. Sigh. The throughput meter did work. It said I was at 94kbps; I can see that as the connection is a little faster than dial-up. On the upside, no viruses are affecting my iBook.
