Comparing sizes is rather gauche, don't you think?
1) 21"
2) 1280x1024 (usually)
3) no
4) yes
5) Firebird / Mozilla
My suspicion is that high resolution will correlate *very* well
with monitor size, AOL and broadband usage will have a reasonable
correlation with monitor size (AOL use decreasing as monitor size
increases, broadband use increasing,) and browser use might show
some correlation but not a particularly strong one.
But of course that's just my guess.

(No, ISDN is not 'broadband'. "Broadband" refers to cable and DSL.)

I've heard the bandwidth is pretty good, but the latency is pretty bad.

Satellite gives as much as 2 Mbps downloads. Uplink could be dial-up.
