Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2007I Finally Saw a Video!!
I just got to dump my old dial-up internet connection. Now I can *finally* see the short videos & games that you all always talk about! First one I tried was "Cat Herding" (thanks for the link!). Priceless! Sherry > I just got to dump my old dial-up internet connection.

All I know is some company put an antenna-thingy on top of the water tower in town. (right on the top of the giant watermelon, LOL). Then they put an antenna on top of our old TV antenna. Then we had to hack the trees back. And voila! Now I can watch "Herding Cats." Sherry |I just got to dump my old dial-up internet connection.

What speed is your connection now? I have no idea. There are 3 plans-- $19, $29 and $39. I took the cheapest one, he said it would be very easy to upgrade if I had any problems. So far it's fine.

It's still waaaay faster than dial-up. I'm on a very strict budget. I really don't have any sort of frills. No Cable TV, no add ons to my phone like call waiting or call forwarding. The *only* reason I have a cell phone is for when I travel with John. Given my parents' age and Dad's health problems, someone has to be able to reach me on the road. I never use it for anything else. If I'm not travelling it sits on the charger. I don't give out that number. And even with that, I have the cheapest possible plan with the lowest number of minutes. And I got the phone that came free with the account. Just a basic cell phone.

The one thing that I would really like to do is download music. I've never been able to do that, so I don't know anything yet about where to go to try it. I'll fiddle with that today. If anyone knows a good place to start, let me know! Pretty much all the sites now are pay-per-download, and are legal, right?

Pretty much all the sites now are pay-per-download, and >are legal, right? Wrong. Most sites are scams, like all other crap on the internet. They sell you a P2P app like limewire, then charge you for what you steal. Stick with iTunes to be safe, or see if your ISP has a site. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- From: "Sherry" <sriddles@aol.com> >So far it works fine for everything I've tried to do.

Just in case you run out of videos to watch, here are some my niece has shot of her cats: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=deinin SignatureMarina, Miranda and Caliban.

Oh my gosh! I wish I could do videos now! Emil's got personality for sure! I love "Emil Wants Out". There's a cat who knows how to get what he wants :-) Sherry >> I just got to dump my old dial-up internet connection.

I see Emil is like Stinky with boxes. He has to get to know them intimately, even down to trying to consume part of them. :P Theresa Stinky Pictures: http://community.webshots.com/album/125591586JWEFwh Make Levees, Not War > I just got to dump my old dial-up internet connection.

The first thing I would recommend is to make sure your system is patched to the hilt, then get loaded up with AVG, Zone Alarm, and Ad-Aware, all free. They will do quite well to keep your computer free of viruses and other nasty business, along with your own sensibleness in keeping away from dangerous places. They've been working very well for me, and I'm PC-illiterate (while being a Unix weenie. Go figure). Of course, I still use my simple old text-based Linux email account, too.

[quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > Jane Thanks, Jane. I think my son has adequately loaded it up with virus, spyware/adware protection. I'm PC illiterate too; and a former Mac weenie. I got to keep the AOL e-mail account for free, which is good since I've had that same e-mail for about 12 years. Sherry > I'm PC-illiterate (while being a Unix weenie. Go figure). I know exactly what you mean. The same is true for me. I know the basics to get by using a PC, but if I have to do anything complex, I usually need some help. Even my dad, who unlike me did *not* have a career in the software industry, got to be a whiz on his PC. One time he was telling me all about updating "the registry" as though it were something any idiot would know, and I'm like "huh?" :) (I do know a lot more about the registry now, as I've needed to learn about it for my job.) > Of course, I still use my simple old text-based Linux email account, > too.

That is an excellent choice for your initiation. :) Joyce >I just got to dump my old dial-up internet connection.

I tried a search on the Cat Herding video a few weeks back and couldn't get a good site - it had been taken down from a bunch of them. Do you still have the link?
