That brings back some memories.....and you are crashing less now? I can see that trying to get those huge updates would be hard on your bandwidth issues, we are almost 4G here by now as far as cell coverage and at home it's pretty damn fast as well. Technical challenges ,eh?

We do have earthquake drills here...no volcano drills BUT if Baker or Rainier does blow, we'll have issues with ash,etc depending on the winds. For a prairie girl , it's still a little awe-inspiring , if you know what I mean.

Which puts me on the lower end of getting a DSL line. But since this modem had a line speed up to 143 Kbps maybe we can get some good DSL speeads (143Kb was higher than what it was set for -- 115Kb, I think).

We have 4G here too. But my phone is antiquated and basically only good for... a phone! I sorta like it like that.

I rarely use my phone as a phone. I get more wrong numbers than I do calls! But the kids and I can send emails about things we need to do/pick up and I can text Don during the work day...his job is in a different calling areas and this way we avoid long distance charges. I do a lot of web browsing though so my plan is centered more around data than anything else, a flat fee gets me 50 MB a month in data and unlimited text,video and picture messages. Plus it takes a fairly decent photo, so I don't need to worry anymore about bringing my camera along if there is a chance I need to grab a shot or two...

Rumour has it that Apple is thinking of developing a mini-iPhone. Not that it's a big thing to carry around but it if drops the price and has no contract, I'll get one for Ali.
