I live ten minutes from a college town, but the spot where I live in the country is in wrong place to get DSL or cable and I can't get dial-up where I live either without paying a long-distance fee. So I have satellite internet. *shakes head* It's is the worst. I get 350 gigabytes of high-speed service every 24 hours. Keep in mind that this includes just surfing the internet. I run a review site, am learning 3D graphic design, homeschool my kids, and my husband also uses the internet. It's a good day when I manage to get my research both for my writing and the kids schooling without having to reload the pages three times. Oh, and the weather always affects my service too. For the past few days it's been raining and I get online only to be knocked off three minutes later. Let's not even discuss what happens when it gets extremely cold or when it's a very bright sunny day. *chuckles* The joys of living in the country. The really aggravating part? If I moved but two miles in either direction, I could have cable or DSL. Two miles. *chuckles again* I completely sympathize with your computer woes, Jeanne.

My geek lives with me. I recently lost everything when i opened an attachment containing 60 viruses. It took a week to clean it out and my house got a little cleaner too. LOL. It was a huge pain to use my laptop since I wasn't used to doing anything but reading on it. Ash Hi Jeanne,
