I've been slugging it out with the issue of learning to piggyback on a friend's weak wi-fi signal. Had terrible issues with the signal booster I bought. Finally this evening, after days of horror and agony - remember, I'm slow - it finally dawned on me that part of the problem might be my preference for the Chrome browser. Now that I've switched to FireFox, no more dropped connections in over an hour. Chrome would disconnect an average of ever 20 minutes or so.

I'm at least a month behind my Du bookmarks reading, but I will try hard to catch up soon. Meanwhile I'm off to the computer group to post this update, which most of them probably could've told me about a long time ago if they'd thought about it. Hey, maybe I'm not quite so slow as I thought.... anyway, I know that trying a different browser often clears up problems, but I was so miserable I forgot about it!
