DSL still uses the phone line.

My understanding is they (Verizon) will bring in NEW lines thus updated and faster.



I will be sure to research it more before signing any papers.

Seems so quiet here. Nothing to talk about I suspose.


Maybe I'll post some photos I found relating to gaming / hobbies.

If we have nothing to speak about, we should figure out something then, shouldn't we? I could talk about the story I've written, but I think I've already covered that in a different thread you've seen.

On the plus side, because of my writing, I am actually not terribly bad at writing and my speed is somewhat decent. Although the annoying thing is that I look at other people's writing more critically than perhaps I should.

My boss at work, for example, is a HORRIBLE speller, so badly so that it's annoying. It's a pain in the butt attempting to deal with the payroll people every other week because the names he sends them for the checks are half wrong. Of course when he makes checks by hand, it's even worse because then no one is there to double check him. Last week, he typed up a check for someone, but the bank wouldn't cash it because he both spelled the name incorrectly and typed in a similar address to the person, but different enough that it raised too many questions. That check had to be voided and he was forced to write out another one.

And no, I have no fear of him reading this website or somehow stumbling across this specific post and recognizing me as his employee.

So your boss is a gamer also?


If so that is neat.



I once had a boss that used e-Bay a lot. As such, he allowed me to keep track of auctions during work. Major no-no at Mack.

I think you read that wrong. There's no way I'd be caught on this forum because first of all, I think he tries to avoid reading anything lengthy in English and second of all, I don't think he's a gamer and lastly, I don't think he knows much about what can be done on the computer beyond what he knows for work, including something as simple as forums.

Many years ago when I was using AOL and was using a landline internet connection I at leat had a clear 42-50k connection with my 56k modem.

You probably weren't in a major metro area. Or else surfed at 4AM.

My former boss was a gamer and a scifi geek.

Phoenix, AZ isn't a major metro area?

Awww, poor Fru is left to his lonesome self.

Hey, at least I'm looking after my nephew this weekend.

Good morning folks.

Oh, and yes Fru ... I always DID understand the Phoenix area to be a major "metro" area. The place if HUGE.
