I am currently standing in my kitchen on the laptop. Earlier, i was laying in bed watching my shows on the internet that i missed lastnight. Why am i excited about that!? Because we've had a laptop for 5 years and for the FIRST TIME in those 5 years, we FINALLY got a wireless router yesterday!! :D IM WIRELESS BABY!! LOL

And to make it even better?! The reason we finally got a wireless router, was because we got an iPad (its WiFi capable only)!! Even better than that?! We got it HALF price!! :D

Friend/neighbor of ours went to a big company crawfish boil saturday. Lots of venders and sponsors giving away all kinds of loot! Neighbor got a new iPad. He already has one, so he offered it to us for $250! SAWEET!! Said he would keep it, but didnt care for it to be WiFi capable only.

I must say, it was quite a good weekend! ;)

Awesome for you. I love my wireless router. I can sit in any room or outside and still be on line. I LOVE IT.

Everything will be fine and dandy until the neighbor's teenage son realizes he can piggy back into your wifi and download enough pr0n to pull entire weekend marathons locked up in his room. LOL

Put some sort of security on your wifi network.

For those of us who were on dial-up at home until 2009 this is progress.

One of the guys that works here was on dial up until a few months back... and a shitty dial up connection at that!
but he lived out in the boonies between Austin and Houston with no cable service accessible.
So after yrs of debating, he went with some sort of service that Dish Network provides.

some people just dont take well to progress

It has been 3 or 4 years now that DSL was finally offered here. We are rural and cable is not an option. We are on satellite TV but I have heard too many unreliable comments about satellite internet.

Oh and my moms boyfriend still has dial up too and still using AOL 6.0 or something! The sent him a disc with free 100 minutes or whatever and it said "prefered customer". I said "you're their ONLY customer!" LOL. And the man has more money than he knows what to do with! But hes one of those old croons that saves every last penny and spends as little as possible! LoL

We are lucky that DSL and wireless were available when we built the new farm. No need for encryption up here as the nearest neighbor is over 1/2 mile away. Had the Hughes net at the old place and it was better than dialup but not much.

nothing sucks more than a wireless router that looses connection once every week ... that pisses me off >:c
