It's due to only one consonant between the i and e. If there were two zs, then it'd be pronounced kizz er. It's like how my maiden name is pronounced. Due to the two gs, it is pronounced dug gen, rather than doo gen.Tara Kizeraka tduggan |

Well, I'm just wondering that even if I ordered the 768k, if they only installed wires for 2mg that I'm gettin that.I'll have to test a download tonight.
installed wires for 2Mb?? emmm wires are the same for 128k and 10M they're simple copper pair wires used for hundreds of years it's the modems that are different.Go with the flow & have fun! Else fight the flow |

| fiberoptics? well those are userd to link 2 digital phone centrals.to them it's stil old copper pairs fiberoptics are very cool if you ask me.they have virtually unlimited potential for data transfer.take N wavelengths (colors of lights) and multiply it by M (multiplexing one wavelength) and you get a lot of data capactiy so the problems are in the hardware Go with the flow & have fun!
