Networks Drive Me Nuts

Computers are so very awesome and I love them.  Really, I do love them.  I have worked hard over the years to learn all the big software programs.  I used MS Word and MS Excel almost every day.  I love the internet and use Firefox all the time, although once in a while I go to a site that requires IE.

What trips me up is the network side of computers.  I know about routers and modems, but why do I have so much trouble with these routers?   I have to buy a new router just about every year.  And, I never touch the dang thing – it is in the basement on an old desk, next to an old PC and printer that I don’t use any more but don’t want to toss out yet.

But about once a year, I start having connection problems and then I have to go down to the basement and reset the router.  When I have to reset it every couple of days for a couple of weeks, then I know it is about to quit working and I start shopping the sales ads for a new router.

The only thing wrong with these rules is that the club owners found it necessary to write them all down and post them.

The Ides of March

I remember hearing, “Beware, the Ides of March!” when I was in high school.  It’s from a play about Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare.  But, I never knew what date really IS the Ides of March!  Maybe I should look it up.
