Welcome to Dial-Up...

Okay, so maybe I've downgraded, but atleast I've gone honest. It's probably best that I explain that sentence more thoroughly. As it happens since moving this past October I've been using wireless internet as my connection. At first, being the technological illiterate that I am, I figured that if you bought the wireless card (as I had) than any connections you found out there (space and time or whatever) were free.

WRONG. I soon learned that wireless connections are never free, some are just unprotected. For me this meant that continuing to siphon internet connections this way was paramount to stealing. Having read the 10 Commandments once or twice...or just several dozen times, I realized that stealing was probably bad.

Now I had to make some decisions, like what was the best internet for me, and what fit in my budget best? Since internet is not a high priority for me I figured I could live on dial-up (relatively the most inexpensive). Dial-up also had another advantage that of having to have a land line phone connection.

Being that I'm now out in Utah it was advantageous to have a local number for all those persons tired of calling me long distance on my cell phone. So, now I have a local number and legal internet service...aren't you all proud of me?
