Big Change at the Family Compound!

As my dad drove me home from the airport this afternoon, he earnestly explained that their AOL account is no more because he made other "arrangements."

Dad: See, just turn the computer on and click on that thing...
Me: Internet Explorer?
Dad: Yes! That! And it will go right to the MSM homepage! We have DSL now!
Me: Oh, that's exciting!
Dad: It is so much faster, you won't believe it! But you can't use your portable with it because there'd no special firewall set up.

Isn't that cute? I admit to being somewhat puzzled as to how I was supposed to link my laptop to his DSL connection regardless of secutiry issues, but whatever. This evening I took a closer look at the equipment that was set up to bring the miracle of hi speed internet connectivity into our humble abode. Yeah, it's wi-fi.

I think that just makes the conversation cuter, don't you?
