sunny earlier.... marine layer ya know

Well, 93 where you are is normal temperture. ;-)

Here, anything above the upper 80's is a heat wave.

"F" or "C" ? ;-)

To me, about 9 years ago, 34(C) would have felt pretty cool.

Coincident though, as the current US Administration says global warming
is not an issue - even with all these record rainfalls / temperatures /
droughts / sea levels / etc, etc <sigh> :-)

Maybe "they" should get some input from a couple of polar bears? :-P

37 (C) - 100(F) was the high today
just can't wait 'til it warms up 'round here :(

This will be my 3rd summer in the desert ... I'm still trying to figure out
how a Jersey girl who loves the beach ended up _here_

Anywho ... howdy all - I've finally convinced Cox that they never did send
me that modem that I ordered back in March, and I am online and doing well -
one of these days I'm gonna have to explore that question of how? and why?
and ?????? *Las Vegas* ??????? But not tonight....It's too hot :)

Same here.. sort of. (3rd summer on westcoast.) I still feel like I'm on
another planet.

Took them 3 months? What did you do? Send them pictures of your computer
setup without the modem?

Just renewed my contract SBC for DSL. Upgraded to 3.0 Mbps. Quite nice.

They were having a promotion - order 5Mbps service and get the modem for a
penny
I ordered service on March 10. They said because of the demand, it might
take 2 weeks. I told them that I was capable of self-installing, no need for
a tech. They still said 2 weeks. Fine.

On the 25th I started calling. They said the modem was on its way.
lalalalala. On the April 3, they said that my modem had been denied
delivery ---- err???? wha????. My complex office signs for _all_ packages.
They "re-sent" the modem on April 5 --- this time they said they had a
signed receipt for it, But *I* still didn't have the modem. This started an
'inquiry'. more lalala. Finally after discovering that they had delivered to
the wrong address -- twice -- they agreed to send me a new modem. And
because of the delay, instead of the 'penny' reconditioned modem, I
convinced them that I deserved a shiny new one. It arrived for my birthday
:) Last week. I didn't get to it until the day after. The hassle of set up
...aaargh!

The only choices for high speed service around here are Cox and Sprint. I
didn't want to be held in thrall to the cable company more than I already
am, so I started looking at Sprint. All of the people I have talked to about
Sprint's DSL service in this area have horror stories about outages and
super slow service, and their horrendous customer service. So....Evil Cox it
is.

I really haven't had a chance to clock my speed yet, just trying to get
caught up on 2 months worth of inbox stuff, a year's worth of missed
upgrades (this machine hasn't been online in a while), etc. I am paying for
5Mbps service though....it *seems* right, but does anyone know of a reliable
tester?

This one is fast and easy (and kewl comparisons)

Hey, you still got lots of sand, right? Just wing it! And think of all those
great golf course sitting there begging for you to play them! ;-)

Well, to me at least, with all the humidity up here, it "feels like" over
100(F) !
