Three words:
Microsoft Seurity Updates
many of them are far too large to download on a dialup line. Why
spend over an hour just to download one seurituy update, when
can use broadband and download it in seconds. I, of course, am

saving money.
You should change your priorities and put saving time ahead of
saving money.
