A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Phone companies hate dial-up data users because they eat up switching system facilities. Most switching systems are graded under the assumption that each user will only be on the phone for an average of 700 seconds (7 CCS) per hour. Dial-up data destroys that assumption.
Plus, data over voice transmission systems is the crappiest way to go. Dial-up claims to be able to run at 56 kbps. The best I've ever seen was 36 kbps and there were lots of error correction retransmits.
Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

I don't know it that point is really moot, I had to use dial up on some travel work laptops when on the road. (yeah, they didn't allow wireless) and most of the time it was pretty crappy. I learned to just do the minimum of e-mail, because it was so frustrating from going from high speed access, to snails pace!
but, ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

Way back when I had an 8-track in my car. One morning I discovered someone had broken in and left me ten tapes.
