Bad Compy, No Cat

It’s like this:

Chopper’s compy is dead.
My compy is mostly dead.

We have only the lappy, sans cat pictures, now perched on a TV tray table in Chopper’s parents’ basement, because – crazy but true – our house still lacks internet service.

Oh, that Comcast, she is a slow one.

We’ll be back soon, we promise. Even if it means we have to nail our local cable guy with a tranq dart and hold him hostage till he brings our poor little house into the 21st century.

    Good luck. I think you’ll like Comcast when you finally get it.

    At this point, I think I’d just settle for the late 20th century.
    Hurry back.

    Hey Kalyn, we had Comcast before we moved from here, so we’re looking forward to getting it back again — DSL in our neighborhood is awful so it’s really the only option for decent & (semi) affordable internet service. If only it wouldn’t take so long to get it set up! Supposedly they’re mailing us a modem, and then we have to call them to schedule an appointment. (tap tap tap, wait wait wait…)

    CC, oh lordy no. Late 20th c dial-up? Augghhhh…

    “It just so happens that your computer here is only MOSTLY dead. There’s a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive.”

    Sorry, just had to get that out. Hoping you get real, housewide Internet service very soon.

    Dave sez: Hey, there’s no “blaving” going on in this house!

    Me, I’m searching for the bellows. :-)

    A house just ain’t a home without broadband internet… or true love. Is there a miracle pill for computers?

    Kimberly, Chopper’s compy needs a miracle pill. As does our TV service at the moment. Silly satellite dish.

    Thanks, Lady A. We’re back, kinda sorta. House is still a disaster.
