I finally upgraded one of my computers to XP yesterday, got my sound card working and my computer is going SOOO much faster now.
I moved it into my bedroom, because my oldest moved back home temporarily and moved into my office (he's going back to college to become a Veterinarian, and can't afford rent right now).
Anyway, there is no room for me, him and his stinky feet in that room, so I moved my stuff out.
I get everything all set up and ready to go and find out that my phone jacks are not working in my room for some reason. So I am all set up with no where to go right now.
My Dad and coming out for my birthday Wednesday, and he retired from Southwestern Bell, so he thinks he will be able to find out what the problem is and fix it.
Until then....I am stuck with being online at work only. I am over at Sweetxpeach's house right now and snuck in here for a little look see.
See yall in a few days!

I just finished wiring up the rest of my house for Cat 5. Spent a full day up in the attic crawling across 2x6's and pulling wire. My knees are sore and so is my back, but at least I have hi-speed in all but the dining room and the bathrooms. I'm glad that's done.
RM, Hopefully it'll be just a bad connection on the ground floor somewhere.

I don't have a long enough phone line to run it clear across the house.
Kyle, you know if I had any other choice right now, I wouldn't be on dialup. The only choice I have is through the cable company and I can't rationalize spending $70 a month for it when basically all I do is get on the downlow anyway.

Does the $70 include the cable tv? My total bill is about $88.71 for cable and roadrunner.

People in a two mile radius around me can get SBCGlobal, Clearwire, etc. I am in a hole I guess, I can't find anything other than that cable company!
