Aaaarrrgghhh……

………….I wish I could scream. I am really really fed up with this computer and my internet connection!
This morning, it took over thirty minutes to get a stable connection – and it’s still been slow as hell since. Like wading through molasses. No exaggeration, but every page takes minutes to load. This isn’t the first time things have been this slow – it’s pretty much the norm nowadays. I am tempted to wonder if this is BT’s way of persuading us dial-up users to sign on for broadband when they enable our exchange later this month.
I may very well sign up for it anyway – I’ve been looking at the pricing, and monthly rental of their cheapest broadband package would cost no more than the extra line rental and AOL charge that we pay now. The times I’ve used broadband, on others’ computers, I’ve been hugely impressed with the speed of connection.

A new computer is also imperative – I’m still having to share a machine with B. Every month, when I think I’ve got enough spare cash to buy a basic MB and casing, a new bill arrives. It’s so damm frustrating altogether.

In other news, I’ve suddenly become the site-owner of the Oakleaf Campers Yahoo group. Fran, who started it, has decided to give it up – can’t blame her, she is already running four or five other Yahoo groups that I know of. So, what shall I do with my new toy?
