HOW WI-FI IS DISTRIBUTED INSIDE AN APARTMENT
I just bought an Actiontec modem+router (Convenient, less wire). It has a four-star rating by customers at Amazon. After 15 to 30 minutes I lost connection to the internet. I did a reset, same problem. Hmmm... no good! Returning to store.

WINDOWS XP RETIRING. EXPIRING APRIL 8, 2014. How unfortunate that there's no loyalty to old customers. Just put aside after 12 years, only! The word "retiring" is just obscene. With no updates memory will be gone, machine will have Alzheimer's sickness. Old computer never dies, it just fade away.
Upgrade to Windows 8 or else ...

I keep getting this in my inbox.....
An
unemployed man is desperate to support his family. His wife watches TV all
day and his three teenage kids have dropped out of high school to hang
around with the local toughs.
He applies for a cleaning job at a large firm and easily passes an
aptitude test. The human resources manager tells him, "You will be hired
at minimum wage of $5.15 an hour. Let me have your e-mail address so that
we can get you in the loop. Our system will automatically e-mail you all
the forms and advise you when to start and where to report on your first
day."
Taken back, the man protests that he is poor and has neither a
computer nor an e-mail address. To this the manager replies, "You must
understand that to a company like ours that means that you virtually do
not exist. Without an e-mail address you can hardly expect to be employed
by a high-tech firm. Good day."
Stunned, the man leaves. Not knowing where to turn and having $10
in his wallet, he walks past a farmers' market and sees a stand selling
25lb crates of beautiful red tomatoes. He buys a crate, carries it to a
busy corner and displays the tomatoes. In less than two hours he sells all
the tomatoes and makes 100 per cent profit.

Repeating the process several times more that day, he ends up with
almost $100 and arrives home that night with several bags of groceries for
his family. During the night he decides to repeat the tomato business the
next day.
almost $100 and arrives home that night with several bags of groceries for
his family. During the night he decides to repeat the tomato business the
next day.
By the end of the week he is getting up early every day and working
into the night. He multiplies his profits quickly. Early in the second
week he acquires a cart to transport several boxes of tomatoes at a time,
but before a month is up he sells the cart to buy a broken-down pickup
truck.

but before a month is up he sells the cart to buy a broken-down pickup
truck.
At the end of a year he owns three old trucks. His two sons have
left their neighborhood gangs to help him with the tomato business, his
wife is buying the tomatoes, and his daughter is taking night courses at
the community college so she ca n keep books for him.

By the end of the second year he has a dozen very nice used trucks
and employs fifteen previously unemployed people, all selling tomatoes. He
continues to work hard. Time passes and at the end of the fifth year he
owns a fleet of nice trucks and a warehouse which his wife supervises,
plus two tomato farms that the boys manage. The tomato company's payroll
has put hundreds of homeless and jobless people to work. His daughter
reports that the business grossed a million dollars.

Planning for the future, he decides to buy some life insurance.
Consulting with an insurance adviser, he picks an insurance plan to fit
his new circumstances. Then the adviser asks him for his e-mail address in
order to send the final documents electronically. When the man replies
that he doesn't have time to mess with a computer and has no e-mail
address, the insurance man is stunned.

"What, you don't have e-mail? No computer? No Internet? Just think
where you would be today if you'd had all of that five years ago!"
where you would be today if you'd had all of that five years ago!"
"Ha!" snorts the man. "If I'd had e-mail five years ago I would be
sweeping floors at Microsoft and making $5.15 an hour."
sweeping floors at Microsoft and making $5.15 an hour."
Which brings us to the moral: ........................ Since
you got this story by e-mail, you're probably closer to sweeping floors
than being a millionaire.

[Yes, I may be sweeping the floor and earning $5.15
an hour but I own a lot of stocks in Microsoft, you idiot!]
