State of your systems

Just curious as an informal poll:
1) Do you have a DVD player on your computer system? (yes, no, don't know)
2) how fast is you rnet connection (dial-up, 1Mbps, 3mpbs, broadband but don't know?)

By the way, if you don't know your connection speed you can go to Speakeasy speed test to find out. Curious to know your results. On qwest dsl I am getting 1.5mb download and about 700kb upload.

If you do not know if you have a CD or DVD go to Start=> My Computer
You should see it listed as CD-RW or DVD-R or DVD-RW or something (the "R" is for Read and the "W" is for write...write means you can record to blank DVDs or CDs)

Thanks!

Yes, I have a DVD player. My download speed was 20,721 kbps and my upload was 4,207 kbps.

My download was 3507. I had to pretend I was from New York as thats the nearest to London UK. Upload speed said 243. That does not sound too great.
I do have a DVD player though.
Is there a booby prize for the worst speed ?
