I hate you...
Sorry, bubba. :-(
Hope you get yours soon!
Well, as far as I can tell, ecurbh's the only one who's said he can make it tonight. And he was gonna watch something else at nine, so we could push it to start at seven Pacific, ten eastern, pretty easily I'd think. We could have a free-for-all chat earlier with those who are just coming for the company, maybe.
Anytime after eight eastern works fine for me. If we push it much past eleven eastern, Rosie will start going to sleep on me.
G'nad, looks like it's just down to the two of us; the rest have gone over the ~ other ~ side. Will you also go ~ there ~? Say it won't be so...
Dude, get real internet!
Seriously, if you can, you should. You'll love it.
And leave our web-tv? We've had our web-tv since 1997. Web-tv opened the doors of the internet to us. We may replace once it wears out. :-)
I've never used or even been around a web-tv. They can't use cable or DSL?
It does make seeing pics on threads so much easier and faster. Not to mention, downloading pics I receive via e-mail.
I've been visiting all of the websites I normally visit and am amazed by how quickly they appear.
The content's the same though. :-D
Jen - well, LSA looked into it, she is considering it so it must be compatible at some level, but it is all 'the affairs of wizards' to me.
Ruthie - that is really the truth, but I've learned patience is a virtue and it's also cheaper than the alternatives.
Time will tell, we too may be drawn to the ~ other ~ side. :-)
:-D
It has taken me....
Woohoo! Welcome to the world of broadband!
The problem is, Jen, I absolutely HATE paying taxes. Our basic phone service is about $12.50/month, but, with 'taxes, surchares and other fees" it goes to $21.60. Granted, that is a minimal amount, but, of that amount, 44% is TAXES!!!
When I think of how much more money we will be giving to the government to waste, I just can't make that call ordering DSL. Maybe someday, but not yet. LSA
Thanks!
It's terrific. And since it's wireless, I can make some decisions as to where I want the computer to be besides in my room. *smile*
I'm thinking about moving it to the living room so I can chat-view out there and the kids can use it for homework easily.
Truth be told, I'm tired of folks camping out in my bedroom to use the computer and I can't go to bed or relax in there when it's in use.
That's reasonable enough! I've had high-speed for too long, I'd shrivel up and die without it.
(Hmm, dinner is taking way too long. Has been smelling good for an hour but the meat just won't finish)
sry for lack of communication. out working on car right now.
Is the aforementioned chat view happening tonight?
Hopefully! How about we do a freestyle chat for a bit, then start the movie in about an hour? That way those who want to be sociable can come join.
That works... mostly because I can't type well for the next hour while I eat this big salad.
So I'll be in there in a bit ;~D
No problem! (/end sagara sousuke impersonation)
Join us when you can for chat and/or movie.
Anybody who wants, come chat... know you guys must be around somewhere...
