I couldn't figure out what to do with that old bicycle I have laying around. Problem solved.

mmm... gadget porn.
I am there with ya! Dial-up sucks, but when you live in the country, its basically your only option other than satellite, which is worse than dial-up in many ways.

I have been looking at setting up an 80ft tower to see if I can reach a WISP in the nearest town.
@Clinton

Have you tried any 3G/EVDO connections?
I only had dialup, and overpriced satellite also.
I am using Sprint, mainly because I despise Verizon, but either one is a good alternative. With a decent antenna and/or a booster, you can have great speeds, plus take the net with you when you go anywhere.
I felt perfectly safe flying before all their crap security measures, and I would still feel just as safe now even if they had not changed their security even slightly.

I have accidentally left my rather large pocket knife in my backpack, and after I took my shoes off, stripped all metal off my body, and was manually scanned because the rivets in my jeans set off the alarm, I grabbed my backpack still with my large knife in it, and walked to my plane. I felt so much safer having gone through all that hassle. :-P

They did an internal test a year or so ago, to see how prepared the TSA was, and they found that they missed 13 out of 15 attempts to smuggle bombs/guns/knifes and other illegal items.
Very Sad!
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I am trying to configure out a really dumbed down and intuitive PC for my grandmother. She recently had a stroke and while she is under my care I would like to repurpose a laptop for her to surf and email her children. Anyone have any experience with what input devices and UI's are really understandable for the over 80 crowd?"
