Keeping busy in the new economy is pretty easy. We spent most of the day yesterday trying to access our wireless access point at its default address. Our network just disappeared. Our Netgear MR814 wireless router lost its ability to broadcast a year ago but the Ethernet connections still worked so we bought a NetgearWG602 v3 Wireless Access Point and hooked it up to the MR814. That worked for about a year and now it has disappeared. Can’t even connect to it to re-set it up. I’m headed out to buy a new router and I’m hoping my purchase will stimulate the economy.
We took a walk up in the woods and came out on Hoffman Road where the town has just finished its infrastructure improvements to manage the wetlands that they inadvertently created when they allowed a housing project to go in off Titus. The Budweiser guy has been busy down here. He can drink and drive. I’m keeping his deposit.

Paul, it’s a dirty little secret that I learned at the Apple store: Netgear and Macs are not very compatible. I had to take one back because my Macbook would not connect to it. The apple routers. while expensive are much faster.
We did wind up with a used Apple Express from Bob Martin It is wired to our old Netgear router and it broadcasts to our living room and across the street.It was fun to set up. And we were able to do it wirelessly from our laptop.
