Arrgghh . . . Technology

I apologize for being AWOL over the past few days, but it couldn't be helped. My DSL modem fried earlier this week, and I had to wait until they sent a replacement unit. Then, just as soon as I installed it, the firewall fried. Yesterday afternoon I finally had connectivity, and thought I'd post something first thing this morning. But this morning, no connectivity. I literally just got off the phone with the DSL tech, who was able to get it up and running again. I'm taking no chances on it going out again before I post at least something. I'll try to get caught up a bit today.
