Posted on Thu - December 18, 2008 The elusive utility gradeInternet connections aren't there
yet
When you flick a light switch, you can expect
light most of the time. Oh sure, rural areas (like where I live) have their
power outages, but those are few and far
between.
Same for gas, it's there when you need it. These days, the wired telephone is even better still. I can't think of one time during my life time that I picked up a phone with a direct connection and it didn't work. Even the cable company is pretty good. So when will a rural internet connection reach utility grade? It's pretty bad when your ISP is the local cable company and you can get the Phoenix channels but you can't check your email. |
Hello There
This is my no frills blog to cover all the gadgets and gizmos and technology that makes 21st Century life so exciting. Think of it as a messy set of notes that I keep for myself on all sorts of topics. It's really intended for my personal use, but I will explain sometimes as I go along.
My passion is for Macintosh and other Apple products, but I will use others as needed. If my notes and experiences can help or amuse you, so much the better. Categories
