Thanks man. I'm trying to get some technical problems worked out. It might be a few more weeks. Then you'll be seeing a lot more of me here.
Thanks guys. I've been working alot lately. Weeks at a time on remote oil locations. My company has a tight security filter on thier computers. Won't let me log on here when I'm at work. Got home and a lightning strike had fried the home pc. I dug an old one I had out of the garage. I remember now why I retired it. I click on another page and I can litterally go to the kitchen, get a drink, walk back to the den and sit down before it loads. I foresee an upgrade in the future.
OK!! Technical problems solved!! I bought a laptop, Dell inspiron, hope the damn thing don't blow up. Got wireless net. I was worried about reception on site but I am on the Tex-Mex border now and getting better reception than my cell phone. I had Hughesnet satellite internet installed at the house and after 4 years of dial up it is heaven. But the home PC was still slow so I took it in before I left and am having it completely scrubbed and loaded up with all the latest security programs.Should work as fast as the laptop when I get it back. So now I can log on anytime I want. Wow, we have a lot of cool new smilies!!!
'Bout time Minuteman, I was getting read to send out a search and rescue to the border. Glad to see you back.
Which Wireless Net Service are you using, Minuteman?... I have a dialup that can also run through my cell phone. Ric
No E.L. the coyotes haven't got me. Just been real busy and with the puter problems I haven't had much chance to hang out here. I have to get my post count up. I am one of the original members here and I have a lower post count than some of the newbies. Disgraceful!! RD, I work in the oil business and am frequently in remote areas. Nearly everyone in my business uses Cingular. They get better reception than any other service I have ever had.
