It was a bit frustrating for websites but impossible for my work. Since I come to stay with my dad pretty regularly, it really helps to be able to access the network at the office. I can stay longer and get more done and be with my dad. A win-win!dmmgmfmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09872482306885344135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24229767.post-36988021772752351402007-02-20T18:34:00.000-07:002007-02-20T18:34:00.000-07:00Steve, the only thing better is deck blogging.
