I'm Back!

Lightning took out my DSL modem last week. Nobody stocks a DSL modem . . . not even the phone company that provides me with DSL service. Well, used to provide me with service. The term "service" is used very loosely here. I'm gone back to cable. At least till the 6 months of cheap service runs out.

You've been missed. Thought you might have been swallowed by the new house.

How weird,.We have Bell South DSL. It died just after we bought the Mac and took on Bell DSL. A quick phone call to Bell and a new up-graded modem showed up in 2 days. It didn't really come from Bell, but from the manufacturer somewhere in Ga.
Glad you are back. Like Cindy said, just thought the cabin in the pines had you busy doing the Davy Crocket thing like chopping the firewood and stocking the freezer for the coming winter. :lol:

Zen I called Alltell when my Modem took a hit, said I wanted to cancel my service and they sent me a free one after I signed up for 2 more years
Missed you

Zen, while you are out in the "backwoods" doing the "Davey Crockett" thing the following information and pictures may be of assistance if any "emergency situations" come up.

Alltel would sell me new DSL modem for a little over $100 . . . or give me one free with a two year contract. Going back to Comcast was cheaper (for the next 6 months anyway), I didn't have to sign a contract, and I didn't have to buy a modem. I doubt I'll have cable or DSL avalible when I move out into the woods, so I really don't want to get tied down to any type of a contract.

The cabin hasn't swallowed me up, but the swam or yellow jackets in the dining room almost put me out of commision for a while. Got out with only 4 stings. By the way, a yellow jacket sting on your ear HURTS!

Number one they are reading out of a book and #2 they and you cannot understand a dang word.They ought to give you an option of letting you speak to an American.One that you can understand. :evil:
