Memories of dialup

[linaewen]

I'm at my parent's house, we decided to stay a second night, just so we could relax a bit. I have my laptop set up on the kitchen table, hooked up with a loooooong phone cord to their phone line, so I don't have to use my folk's computer. Being on dialup is bad enough, but I can run around the house twice in the time it takes their dinosaur to load a webpage -- if it doesn't lose the dialup connection first. :-D

I got to see my sister today, squeee! Our adventure of the afternoon was to all go together to explore the brand new Super Walmart that just opened a few weeks ago here. Nice!

The PowerPoint presentation thingy went off without a hitch this morning. However, it did seem to go mysteriously faster than it was supposed to. I didn't know time moved faster in one place than in another (except on Star Trek), but I guess it must, at least where different computers are concerned. One would think that X number of seconds per slide would mean the same whether it's on our laptop, our desktop or the church's fancy projection equipment. Ah, well, no one noticed -- except hubby and me!

We're heading home tomorrow morning sometime, at which time I will decide what my goals for the week will be -- or won't be!

LOL, see you are already spoiled by your high speed internet. There just is no going back, now!

I am glad your presentation went well, if swiftly! ;)

Time always moves faster when you're in front of people trying to make an impression!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who goes on Walmart adventures.

Miss you.

We went on a second Walmart adventure today, because we didn't get to see enough. :-) Doug's new love is fishing (to go with the camping) so he had to look at poles and such. He's the strongest man ever, he walked out of there with nothing but groceries! Still looking for the best deal on fishing poles, I guess.

Miss you, too -- a lot!
