Internet

Finally broke down and got internet hook-up at the house. The older kids really need it for school work and going to the library or our offices was getting too cumbersome! So I made a makeshift desk with a piece of nice plywood and some closet maid shelf things. It turned out nice although I should paint or put some sort of finish on the plywood so it doesn't get stained or ruined.

So yesterday at lunch hour I put the computer together and hooked it up. Everything is great (except our printer is still not "talking" with the computer yet). BUT....since we have never had internet connection to our home computer (it is 4 years old) we had about 50 microsoft updates downloaded!! It took about 2 hours to get the batch in and then another 2 1/2 hours when we powered down to have them installed!!! WOW. Now if I can get some time in on the machine I will download some photos (either here or one facebook).

It is nice to be catching up on technology!!!
