OMG...I'm finally back on line - 2 week hiatus
The air conditioner in my house blew while everyone was at work. It started pumping only hot air, non-stop. It was over 100 degrees in my house when I came back around 7pm, so you can imagine how hot it was during midday (South Florida heat). It fried my cable modem, and I just got the new one today.

I've been on the internet since it damn near started (since '94) - it felt weird just catching snips of it during lunch at work. I've been ...um...incarcerated ...a few times, and obviously I didn't have it then, but it's different when the computer's sitting right there in front of you and you want to look up something, and you can't. At least I read a book.

I'm glad to be back online.

LOL - Our internet bill was overdue because we couldn't go online to pay it! I had to get an extension when they changed my new MAC address.

1. Welcome back
Hopefully, everything will get back to normal for you soon.

Don't you love when you have a computer problem and you have to go ONLINE to do something about it.

My sister's laptop froze and in the handbook they said--

Go to www..,,, in order to fix this problem.

Morons.
