::sigh:: A real internet connection.  At home even!  wow.

After a little difficulty this afternoon due to a faulty DSL modem I am all set!   Widomaker promptly replaced the faulty unit.  This being a prime example of why I am going with Widomaker instead of Verizon.  I can't imagine the pain I would have had to go through with a big faceless company to get the $10 box replaced.

Why DSL? Well I could have gotten a cable modem.  It would have been a faster connection, however I would have had to deal with Cox.  And that is always bad.  Not only that I would have had to share my internet connection with the pimply faced kid down the street who just realized there are naked girls on the internet.  So now I have a DSL connection.  It is my connection and the only person who I have to share it with is Elizabeth (and she already knows about the naked girls).  I have a static IP address and a company I trust.  That is worth it.
