We finally got DSL and a wireless gateway, which means I can sit on my couch and type this. Since we moved in the middle of May, we haven’t had a land line, so I couldn’t even use dialup. If the weather was decent, I could sit on our deck and hold my computer at various angles until I could borrow a signal from a generous neighbor who was unconcerned (or ignorant) about security. (I have no idea who these fabulous people were, but I shall be forever grateful.) Then I would usually spend a while squinting in the sun to read the screen. If I was lucky, I could get a signal at our kitchen table for a couple minutes before I lost it and had to start the process over. So yes, my friends, this easy and consistent signal thing is a revolution for me. Hopefully it will inspire me to write more.
