The NABBW is going to sponsor a tech teleseminar in the upcoming months. I'd love to know what types of questions you would like answered during the call. Is there anything specific you would like to learn how to do on the call? Consider nothing is too elementary.

I'll surely be on the teleseminar. Thank you Dotsie.

My questions would be about using Blogger. It's free but I can't seem to get answers to questions. My blog is up and there are things I'd like to learn more about when using it.

I will check with the gal doing the teleseminar and see if she will be able to address blogging issues. IS the one you use called Blogger?

Three times, just recently our DSL modem has not worked.
Naturally, it cuts out just before a long, vacation weekend.
We call and they say, "You'll have to wait till Monday."
I don't even know how to blog, but don't have the time for that right now, anyways. Incidentally, the Internet Server repairman has been here 3 times, and he can't fix the intermittent connection. We told the company it was their lines. But do they listen? No!
Ciao for now...
PS: Just wanted you to know why I haven't been here in recent days.

Bonnierose, we were having problems with intermittent connections and flakey Internet access soon after the ISP techs came and rewired the basement for DSL. It took several calls to finally convince them to come in and check their wiring...turns out that when they installed the lines, they were somewhat careless - the intermittent problems were caused by staples going through the wires!! Once they took all the staples out and reattached them properly, everything worked well, and we haven't had any more problems since (going on two years now).

It couldn't hurt to ask that they check for staples in the wires...who would ever think it could be something so simple???

What a coincidence -- our DSL went out on Wednesday morning and just came back today. The only original diagnosis was that it wasn't our modem or connecting equipment. So because it went out right before a holiday -- SBC (our provider) said they only had skeleton crews the next few days blahblahblah.

So when the DSL was mysteriously working again today, El Hub called SBC with our case # and asked what they had done to fix it. And guess what? -- tech help didn't know!

Gee, that's so useful. Makes me wonder if they ever know what's going on.

Blogger.com is the name. Many of our boomer sisters use it, apparently better than I do.

I recently got a postcard from Bright House telling me that the download speed has been increased at no charge. Since then my compute has been slower. Go figure...

jj,
I love your humor; it's so true. We've had an Internet Connection Service expert here and he says, "I don't know what's wrong." Then he checks the lines and repeats his wise
line of bologna.
