No, seriously, what are your reasons for preferring dial-up? I can think of only one: it makes using the internet for procrastination much harder. Why does a self-professed power-user not desire faster internet?

  Turns out that's exactly the reason. The author is afraid that broadband would make it too easy for him to download a lot of content (ie: procrastinate.)
  
  In other news, I was afraid I'd overeat, so I sewed my mouth shut. Problem solved!

  I'll consider writing a blog entry on it, but as mentioned it *will* be long, and it doesn't really relate to any of the article-based topics that O'Reilly publishes. I've no time now to expound on the opinion.
