Today wireless Internet was installed! I don't know why the call it wireless, as there is still a wire that runs across the side of the house, through the wall and into the computer. It has to be plugged into the computer (unless I want to spent another $80 to buy a router), so I am sure it will not work when the electricity is out.
Never the less, just in time to catch up as I feel I have been falling behind in my postings. My days of sitting at coffee shops and McDonald's are history! Thank goodness, as I feel I have gained a few extra pounds drinking lattes, eating french fries and cheese burgers. Even though it was a costly thing to do (installing wireless), I figure I am saving $5 a pop for each of the three visits a week at someplace with Internet access. Essentially it will work out to be the same cost as the monthly charge for access at home. Plus the benefit of being able to work when it is convenient for me and not having to sneak on-line during my breaks at work. Hooraah, do a little dance!
Sweet-- you're really techy now Jodell! I still remember how liberating it felt when we hooked up the wireless modem and I could surf from anywhere in the house! Howaa!
ReplyDeleteHowa! Naaniimin imaa endaayan :) It is so liberating to get that connection, and I am sure you will find all kinds of good benefits for having that connection so readily available.
ReplyDeleteI bet before you know it you will have a router :)
Jodell I love the pictures. Did you take them? I'm still working on my slide show. The people in my are only a figment of my imagination.
