    Hi PAR, I think with my DSL "high speed?" Internet it took almost 48 
hours to get the F7 DVD. I have wanted to dabble in 64 bit F7 but the 
thought of d/l that has stopped me. I may just buy it or have a friend 
Rod get it with his 6 Gb/sec Internet. The cable Internet here in Las 
Cruces NM is very fast.
