It was a lovely day today, weather wise. However, we again had Internet access problems... boooo hisss. I always worry when this happens as I'm the one who sets things on the computers. This was the third time we called for service in the past several weeks. Long story short, the final fix at the pole resolved the problem and we now have service _ and I'm hopeful this will be the third time charm. (or what ever that saying is)
And this experience has really made me realize just how dependent on access to the Internet we are. Several times a day we are up here checking our email or doing other things on the Internet. Shopping, checking out prices, stocks, weather and such. And we had a scare as friends of ours are on a trip to Alaska and there, across the screen on the TV was the story about a cruise ship going down in Alaska... And was this the ship W & L are on????? I emailed Walt's sister for info - what ship are they on??? And, when I went to check my mail this morning... NO SERVICE... and so we were left up in the air... first thing I did, once we were back on line, was to check. And fortunately, that was NOT their ship.
So, we now are able to go on line and will shortly take it again for granted. But, I remember way back when we accessed over the phone to Prodigy and thought that was the greatest thing since sliced bread... and yes, I do show my age :)
