Surfin!

Now, what am I going to do? That’s the question posed to me by my eldest. She seems to think that I have spent far too much time complaining about my internet connection via the Hughes satellite. Hmm? I don’t think I spent any more time on it than it deserved.

But, that’s history. Anyone want to buy a used satellite dish and modem?

The new Clearwire connection is not the fastest in the world, but it is so much better! And there’s already a rumor that they will be implementing WiMax service on the Orland tower. Soon. Be still my heart! (Cynical note: The salesman told me that one)

I have been giving the new service a good test; viewing photos from the 100-year old photo blog, Shorpy and downloading music of the 50’s. And later this morning I will be watching the Mavericks surfing contest…streaming video! Now that was something I couldn’t do via satellite.
