35. Well, what I have

Sun Nov 3, 2013, 07:39 PM

Nov 2013

is my laptop and I use my neighbor's Internet system and it costs me $$ but more than that, when we both use the system simultaneously, it gets bogged down. You need to know that I live in a very remote place and outside access to anything is sparse. If I were in a more populated area, I'm sure I'd have many more options.

But I do thank all of you who have offered suggestions and appreciate the info. I will check out many or all of them.
