    I'd be stuck with dial up here without my wireless hotspot - just no cable and they won't invest in DSL let alone fiber too few customers who are set with DTV/dish satellite for TV to make any profit.
    But I miss out on all the Netflix, Roku, Sling options :(

    We're lucky here we have DSL at least. Fastest speed is 15mbs download. It's fast enough to stream some stuff acceptably with minimal distortion even when we had 10 we did. But 2 streaming devices has issues. Plus we watch DVR/satellite not that online stuff anyway.

    Had a great surprise yesterday when I successfully loaded a couple of programs that our desktop is unable to run but they run on this new computer. Here, we're talking chess and I love the game. Now I will be able to play around and not have to sit at the desktop. I remember several times when I've been laid up and wishing I could have a laptop and be able to play, study and just plain enjoy chess.

    Once again, thank you Adam.

    Not yet Adam. Haven't turned it on yet today but will this afternoon. Hoping to get a few more logs pulled out but have been sitting here trying to get my body to ease up a bit. Wife is working on jigsaw puzzle. One might say we are being a bit lazy today. Yes, that can be nice at times!
