DSL Crack

It seems as though I am seriously addicted. Addicted to DSL. See, my upstairs neighbor is my DSL pusher. I, his DSL junkie. He encouraged me to get a wireless card so I could jump onto his wireless. So I did. I have never looked back to, dare I say, dial-up. Until yesterday.

The cable went down. They could not do the fix remotely. They had to actually come out and make a repair. I could not get online at all other than to dial up. All that squeeking and whistling! The humming and buzzing of the modem. I would sign on, check for important email, answer them and sign off as quick as I could.

I swear I even got the shakes of DSL withdrawal. I needed my email fix! I needed to check in with my blogosphere.

This afternoon, after being out of touch with the e-world, the cable is back up. No more modem and dial up at 45333 bauds!

Today, I am thankful for generous neighbors and technology.
