Thanks, Paul, but I'm not really a noob, just a techno-dummy in some ways. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
Most of that might relate to the slow dial-up I have at home or the not terribly reliable fringe area broadband if I use the wife's computer. It gets a little frustrating at times, but it's part of the price of living out in the boonies. I am literally on the end of the power line, have no cable capability, no dsl capability, marginal and intermittent cell phone reception, deer in the woods, fish in the river, turkeys in the pasture, all the firewood I can burn, and I like it. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif )</font>
You pretty much described my links to the world - when they moved to underground phone lines a few decades ago, they started in my yard, and circled clockwise back to town. Blown up 2 modems with lightening, being the last on the phone lines, blurps have no place else to go.....
