I'm going to hate going into work today. My estimate is that my home connection is about 5 times faster than there. (or about 50x faster than my dial up, from before. Napster's going to get it now...

Chevy Chase is guest hosting on regis... *shudder.

anyhow, I should get ready for walkies.

see you kids in a bit.

My work was about 10x speedier than dialup... lots of bandwidth piggies... boss , plus a few napsteroids.

I'm waiting for DSL to be available in my area. But still work would be faster.

napsteroids at work?

tut ;)

Now you shall enjoy the joys of speed. By the way, you got it through Bellsouth right?
Well also get ready to experience occasional disconnects here and there!

We have a really awesome T1 connection here at school, which I wish I could stuff in my bag and sneak home with me.

nice!

how far is the school form home? put an airport card in one of the machines, and if you're within like a 1/4 mile or so, you can use it!! :)

Whaa? Huh? All of that just flew right over my head! Airport? Card thingie?

Would it work from a networked PC to a single Mac? I don't know what the security is like around here with the network... would it matter?

yupadoodle!

well, security varies, but usually, if you can get a card, you can do anything and have access to anything that machine does... are you close enough to make use of it?

Dunno. How close is close enough? I have no idea how many miles away I am from here... it takes about 20 minutes to drive here from my house and vice versa. Does that sound close enough?

And, how much does this thingie cost about?

Re: Vroom vroom fast!

[identity profile] scottobear.livejournal.com 2001-04-17 01:58 pm (UTC)(link)
no.. probably too far, unless traffic is *really bad*...

usually works up to about 1/4 mile.

it's not too spendy, but it looks like you're out of range... *hug*

Sorry.

That's ok! It sounded like it might be a pain - I'm too impatient sometimes to be crafty.

gotcha!

well, who knows... maybe a magic bandwidth fairy will come and help you out.

best anyhow.. you need time with schoolwork and gruesome. :)

Yay for speedy connections!!! I spent the weekend at my bro.'s, and he has DSL. A 20-minute poem downloaded off Napster took less than five minutes to take, while here at my house, a 5-minute song takes between 10 and 15 minutes! I'm jealous!

well, if you like, I'll grab something for you, and hide it on my website, for you to download at your leisure. :)

Zounds, Mr. Bear! I will never doubt the validity of your rockability. =D Many mighty thanks for that offer!
