Now that's better. After nearly three months, we finally have an internet connection in our home again! It amazes me how much connectivity has become integrated into our everyday existence. I'm sure it's going to reach saturation at some point, but I'm not at all sure I've seen it yet. It seems to me that I just use the computer for more and more. Right now it's our TV, our Phone, our DVD, our stereo, our reference section, our yellow pages, our home-studio... Not to mention a virtual workstation, a baby teasing device, and a rubbish bridge partner.
In any case it is nice to have it back in the home. Living an hour away from your e-mail is a bit of a pain.
In getting things set up this morning, I found (thank you google) the answer to why our airport suddenly stopped working with our ADSL modem. Apparently the answer is to load up an older version of the firmware. Sigh... I feel like Apple is beginning to let the quality control slip on their software a bit. That at least twice now that I've been bitten by one of their software updates which introduces a bug and then never gets fixed. I wish they'd introduce fewer new features and concentrate a little more on stability. I mean I guess the bar has been set pretty low by the industry leader, but still, we don't have to aspire to Microsoft's standards do we?
