Hey,

Good to hear that everything's fine! Welcome to your daughter! Don't forget to upload the family photos on your new box and share pics.

Remember to keep track of that password for the router. Next thing you know you'll be setting up an iPod, an iPad, audio, a Nintendo Wii, an Xbox and game controllers and you'll need that password to configure them. Who'd a thunk ole Cowboy would go so high tec on us?

Next lesson: how to protect your network?

That's no problem. He has a shotgun.

Oh! Will he shoot down his router?

It is password protected. It has an indicated it is secure. As far as Cowboy going hi tech, well, I have shielded her from the digital world in my estimation long enough. I don't want her to fall behind like Dad did. The ole lady is worried about me allowing her to talk to 'strangers' here. I have assured her that if any funny business occured my friends here the f.a.r.t.s. would be quick to resolve it. I can hear (Rick) now "What we have here is an I-D-10-T problem", (word has it he has a brand new BAN button) I bet he is ready to give the contraption a try.

Any funny business, LOL. It is a safe part of the stormy internet.

I chose this place for me because of the Quality of people here, I am sure she will be 'safe" here.

But sometimes the survival situations could be "better" when hi tech is available. I just watched Ed Stafford's "Walking the Amazon" journey and realised how important could be a little bit of kit. I like the modern explorers like Ed Stafford, Mark Kalch too.

I agree, I'd much rather have a Bic lighter to light a fire than 2 sticks.

To stick to the hi tech topic I had a GPS for driving in my country. It was very comfortable but lead me to wrong way several times.
Since I use my road maps I get lost rarely. The GPS is just a confirmation for choosing my directions.
Unfortunately it is not true when I drive abroad. I got lost in Austria last summer.

All I have is a Garmin Etrek, I use it to track where I have been but never used it to plot where I am going. Thing has 2 buttons that do 100's of functions never really learned to use it.
