Title: No Internet!
Post by: gstoneberg on February 23, 2011, 02:42:31 pm

My router died last night, about 8:30pm, which killed all networking in the house.  You'd think, given the way I like primitive things, that this would be no big deal.  Holy cow, we're crippled.  Without my PA fix, I was unable to fall asleep.  I did get a lot of reading done but this is a serious hardship!  It's good I could check in from work, at least I have some semblance of normalcy.   I called this morning and Verizon is sending a new router to me.  Should be here tomorrow afternoon.  Man am I ever bound to technology. ::)

For sure, a smart phone is on my list of things I need.  Still no internet though...hopefully later today.  One of the few times I really want to go to work... ???

Sigh...I'm back online.  Thankfully the only thing that broke was the A/C adapter...didn't have to reprogram the whole router.   ;D

Sitting in the living room, the 3 of us (wife and daughter who is here for a visit with our granddaughter), all 3 with laptops.  Life is back to normal, and good. :D

Thanks Pat, kind-a embarrassing to realize what constitutes a crisis these days. :-[

My computer crashed a few months ago and I was off line for a few weeks(except at work). It does seem silly to worry about such things but it is our reality these days.  ::)
