Yawl might want to put me on ignore

Mar 21, 2025, 4:40 PM

I don't think that actually accomplishes anything, but it is a feature we pay for on Tnet.

Back here in the woods my internet has been less.
I "hit post" -> enjoy a cold one while it eventually makes it on line to annoy all.
Getting into a late night p iss ing match with yawl was not a possibility for me.

After just 24 years living on the Tugaloo, got in high speed today.

I have near 1000mbps out here on the porch where I ran a dedicated line to and the same in upload.
Inside the house WiFi is around 400 (have to work on that) which is phenomenal.

This year when Cade tosses a pass, will not have to endure stress while buffering occurs so I can know if it was completed. I am now living in the high cotton.

Welcome to civilization! I have 1.04 Gbps up and 1.05 Gbps down! I added a range extender and Ethernet ports in all rooms and my lowest test is around 900Mbps in my shop. High speed Internet rules. I remember when I had a dial up modem and would click on a web page and come back once an hour to check if it finished loading! My how times have changed.

I had dial up here, then satellite. Folks would be amazed with all we accomplished on the web with dial up in the 90s.
I made/sold web pages for Churches. It took a long time to build them, and a long time for them to load. No matter as it was cutting edge in the day.

As I remember my first computer was a 486 SX I had it built at a local shop. Was a dial up and email was mindspring.

I remember my Earthlink dial up. Very slow by today's standards, but I thought that was the best thing ever.

Uhhhhhhh……….”might” feels overly optimistic.

Kidding, kidding, kidding……great posts.

It would really be helpful if you could figure out an “internet laser” that tracks, targets and eliminates “coot posts”.
