Slowing Down

We thought we'd solved our problems related to getting on-line at reasonable speeds last week on acquiring a new modem. However, the last couple of days have involved a distinct sense of frustration as even the simplest tasks have taken a good deal longer than expected. It's all curiously reminiscent of the kind of issues we encountered here years ago, in the first decade of the century. Mind you, time was that you could get on-line here by going to a restaurant providing free wifi, but you don't seem to see that anymore, I suppose due to the ubiquity of the 4G network.

In some ways I'm not entirely unhappy to have had this reminder of bygone days - just as long as I don't get messed up with regard to some major piece of work or business, of course. It's nice to be forcibly slowed down once in a while - just so long as it's only once in a while.
