After ten minutes of waiting, I finally get the messaage that the video I want to watch is currently unavailable. How much of that is due to dial[up speeds and how much is due to other people trying to wath it, I don't know. I do know it is frustrating to be told that your equipment wonnt do what it was designed to do because of a problem you have no control ove. In my case, high-speed is unavaliable at any affordable price, and that creates all sorts of problems withstreaming audio as well as any video.

I agree with Cristy 13, not only because of the high-speed internet issue, but also because I could read the story in a lot less time than watching the video.

Why can't you just write it? Not all of us can afford high-speed internet service, and with a dial-up connection video won't play.
