Connection Woes
Tuesday, May 23rd, 2006I couldn’t get a connection to the Internet tonight. If someone had told me in 1989 that two hours without an Internet connection would ruin an evening I’d have laughed at them. Back in 1989 I’d seen a variety of blocky, slow, precursors to the WWW and none of them was going to set the […]
