I admit that I kind of knew when we made an offer on our dream home that Internet might not be as simple as we have known it to be for the past umpteen years that it has been known as DSL to us. THIS is the reason for lack of blog posts! Uploading one photo takes a LONG time. I will think what a great post I have but then I don't have the patience to post it. I am in TX right now in a house with wireless DSL. Ahhhhh.
As the time to move got closer I realized I had 2 choices: satellite Internet or wireless Internet. Neither one was cheap and neither one was going to allow us to watch Netflix or upload a bunch of photos. I was ok with that...I thought. After we moved in and got settled we found out it was a lot more than Netflix and uploading photos. It was all the stuff the kids played. They really have learned a lot from educational websites like pbs kids, poptropica, Webkinz, etc etc. 5G @ $50/mo. We let the kids play on thier websites and after a few days we had hit our 5G limit. Sadly, we don't let them play at all anymore because the Internet isn't fast enough to run the games and we don't have a big enough plan to support it. We do have plenty of other things to do so I just look at it that way. I never print anything anymore because that requires taking the computer into a different room and connecting the two with a CORD! In a few years I hope that technology will catch up to the country and we will have real high speed Internet again. Until then I will still put my best effort into posting but it might not be as often as I would like to.
