Gah, do you remember back in the early 1990s when the 28.8 modem was
the typical *speed* of home internet?  My first internet service was
AOL when it charged by the hour--after giving a pitiful base amount of
hours (there wasn't much options for AOL then).  So, 28.8 modem +
hourly service = $100+ internet bill per month.  Plus, I paid for a
separate phone line on top of that.  Memories. {shudder}

I like the separate category because I'm not much of a het-shipper. 
Granted, I've had my het flings in Star Trek, Babylon 5, and X-Men,
but my preferences are slash and separating them out does make
browsing easier... I suspect we're talking on two different 'channels'
here. {g}  Oh yeah, I had a brief fling with Hermione/Snape because
even greasy gits need to get laid... *especially* greasy gits need to
get laid.  Heh, Snape orgies.
