Members John81 Posted February 18, 2008 Members Share Posted February 18, 2008 DSL = Digital Subscriber Line I don't understand it that well, but here is a Wikipedia article I found on it that will explain it better than I ever could. :lol http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Subscriber_Line Ohhhhhhh, okay, well cool, that's what our local phone company is working to put together here! Maybe I can get that sometime in the not too distant future. And here I thought DSL stood for Direct Satelite Link! :roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John81 Posted February 18, 2008 Members Share Posted February 18, 2008 Wow! I must be out of the techonoligcal loop! I thought broadband was what came over the phone line. :hide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chelle Posted February 18, 2008 Members Share Posted February 18, 2008 Maybe I can get that sometime in the not too distant future. I hope you can, John! :thumb As I mentioned in an earlier post, it does cost more but I believe it to be worth the extra expense, considering what you get! :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted February 18, 2008 Members Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm certainly tired of the slowness of dial-up and the fact I can't watch most of the videos. That little commercial video in the pasta cooker link you posted still hasn't finished downloading and I went to that link right after you posted telling me how to find it.

That doesn't surprise me! I would give up on it, John. It's not a terribly interesting video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many times did the announcer say, "...but wait...there's more!!"? :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted February 18, 2008 Members Share Posted February 18, 2008 I wonder if that gadget would really work that good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bzmomo7 Posted February 18, 2008 Members Share Posted February 18, 2008 I imagine it would work, but how long it would last might be dependent on how good of quality the plastic is. I have a nice steamer that come with my microwave that works great for steaming veggies and is high quality plastic, but I rarely use it because we have such a large family. I use my farberware rice cooker (all you have to do is google the name if you want to look at one) for cooking all my rice because it can make a ton at a time. It doesn't make pasta, though.

Members John81 Posted February 18, 2008 Members Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm wanting something to use to cook for one or two. Hey, they said their plastic is FDA approved! :roll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chelle Posted February 18, 2008 Members Share Posted February 18, 2008 We have a good-quality plastic steamer for our microwave that we use to steam veggies and fish. We bought it at one of those kitchen gadget stores that are always in large shopping malls. Since there are only two of us, it's a perfect size. If we had a large family we'd have to get something bigger. We do have a rice cooker, though it's not by Farberware. I think Rival made it. It too makes a "ton" of rice. We usually use the leftovers to make homemade fried rice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John81 Posted February 18, 2008 Members Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'm mostly looking for something I can use to prepare relatively quick meals just for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
