Indeedily.

The servers usually have high performance 15000RPM drives in RAID configurations and other sweet (And expensive) stuff.

The worst thing about dialup is playing games. CS-Source is laggy as freaking hell even when set to 56k, not to mention I'll get kicked anyway if I find a server that is fast enough for me.

America's Army is still playable, but I can see the delay between when I actually fire and the bullets actually hitting. In a 1 on 1 firefight, I'm dead because his bullets will hit first.

"I wonder to myself. Why? Simply why? Why why? Why do I ask why? Why do I need to find out why? Why do I have to ask why as a question? Why is why always used to find out why? Why is the answer to why always why? Why is there no final answer to why? Simply why not? Holy cow, this is pretty deep, meaningful **** I wrote. Glad I wrote it down. Oh man."
