Thanks HW. We are totally wired now. I have a new computer hooked up and got booted off last night so my son's can try out the high-end graphics on their games. I settled back in front of the fire with a book and a rum-spiked eggnog. The rum is Sikhim, from India and is like nothing you've ever tried. It's almost a shame to put it in eggnog. I'm not a rum man, but this stuff is pretty special. Made in limited batches, it never makes it into this country unless you have a friend bring it back for you.
Have a great Christmas and New Years!
Glad to hear your back online. I have my computer I built that I use for work & my online gaming etc. The woman has her own, our daughter has the my old one I updated, and our yougest son has his own that I need to upgrade. Of course the daughter password protected hers and forgot the password, so that one needs to be wiped clean and OS reinstalled etc. I AM the only one with internet at the moment. Being in the woods I had two choices, dial up or satellite internet. I choce satellite, which has a bandwidth usage cap. Therefore I use it exclusively for now until I finish the new office in the addition. Once I figure what my work & such uses. I'll divy the rest up between the rest of the household. I would suggest you make limited user accounts for your computer if the kids will be using it. Kids almost always download junk, viruses, trojans etc. With a limited user account, it linits what they can download, and usually can't install programs unless you as the administrator log on and allow it. Just make sure you remember you password, write it down. Cause if you forget, they will be able to access their account, but no programs, games etc will be able to be installed. Kisa almost always slowly kill a computer. Not intentionally, just by their webpage viewing, deleting specific needed files etc. Thats why I have my own , and they have theirs. Mine is still cruising, theirs are dead for the moment.
I had a run in with rum when I was in my teens, got sick off it, can't even smell the cap now. Same goes for wiskey, tequila and any colored alcohol. Dunno why. I can get sickon Gin, Vodka, Grain and still drink it again. The others, forget it. Beer is ok to, must be psychological I guess.
Xmas was nice, the new insert really set my mood, and it was the best present I received, from myself of course
.
The kids had a blast, and its always nice to relive those youger years, esp Xmas time through their smiles & laughter.
New years will be warm inside , I know that
