Let's see, at 1.5 minutes (amount of time it is taking each pic to load), then looking at it for a few seconds, deciding on vote and whether or not to comment, it is conceivable that I could vote on this one in just under 2 hours.
That is if my computer doesn't decide to disconnect in between shots.
I vote on every entry of every challenge right away (even the 280 entry challenges). I zip through them pretty quickly and give them an 'impact' vote. I later go through them and adjust votes up or down and give comments based upon better scrutiny. My gut feeling votes are very accurate, though. I usually don't have to change many votes...
I have cable access, so it is feasible to do it quickly.
There, I feel better. Up until a week or so ago, I voted on every shot too, at least in the challenges where I had a picture. I also did the two or three pass thing sorting the pictures. Now, I'm just lucky to get in my 20%.
I'm with you Karmat!! I would gladly pay the $50.00 a month for some kind of high speed internet access...but I live in the sticks, where the dinosaurs are still spotted every now and again. Well....I need to go out to the well and pump me out a drink O water! Later Ya'll! :)
We checked into the satellite stuff as well. We live in a mountainous area, in a cove and are surrounded by mountains on basically three of the four sides. Satellite would work well at different times of the year and day, apparently.
I am not exaggerating when I say that dial up is the only alternative we have. As soon as something comes along, we'll get it.
