Back from the blogging hiatus...
I'm sitting in the Setonian, er, Publications Office. This means that I have a cable internet connection instead of dial up, which also means I can update my various sites without any freezing, pop-ups, or screaming. I love it!
I've come to the conclusion that's the reason I've stopped writing on the internet almost completely, outdated technology. My computer is a Pentium II...it's nearly 10 years old, and has over 10 thousand errors according to some random virus scan that popped up one day.
Think of it as trading in your Motorola Razr for one of those old cellphones you couldn't even fit into a purse. You know, the ones as thick as they are long with the buttons that look like miniature marshmallows.
Not only would you be embarassed to answer that thing in public, but forget text messaging and definitely forget internet access and polyponic ring-tones.
I dread sitting down at my computer. I don't wonder what I can accomplish, I wonder how many pop-ups I'll have to battle and how long it will take for sites to load.
I have so many things I want to say, but Amanda is ready to blow this popsicle stand.
SPRING BREAK!
My parents had a "car phone." It was a packaged deal that was gigantic and needed plugged into the cigarette lighter, but we could only call locally since the calls would drop like they were hot. (Get it? Drop it like it's hot? Hahaha)
Haha! My boyfriend works at a cellphone kiosk and they had an old cell phone there just like the one I described.
He told me it was only 6 years old! That's how fast technology is moving. It's unbelievable! My best friend used to use one of those cell phones, it was her parents...she thought she was pretty hot stuff too.
Now I'm sure if she was forced to use one she'd just make her calls from home. =)
Stormy, I used one of those big cell phones when I had a summer internship with a radio news department. I thought I was pretty hot stuff!
If you're looking for a good free anti-virus tool, consider Spybot. I've had no problems since I installed it several years ago.
