Finally! After six months of limping along by only being able to get online using my USB cable and my cell phone for two hours at a time, I now have DSL. I know I probably could have had it early if I’d asked, but I was hoping to do a couple things. One, save [...]

Nope, this isn’t about the cleaning stuff or a facinating new setting for the red colored gem. It’s more tech stuff.
