Thanks to a Mac Genius, I now have EarthLink DSL. Why couldn’t I set it up myself? After much pain and suffering, it turns out Earthlink hadn’t activated it. Of course, right there on the first page of the welcome letter, was the note that it may take up to seven days before the service is active. Who needs to follow instructions, anyway? We’ll have to see if download times are “up to 50 times faster.”
