Bloglines and del.icio.us

Class on the 6th was the best class I have been in for a long time. I am completely amazed at the information that we were allowed to become privy too. The site www.bloglines.com will and has allowed me to streamline many things I am trying to accomplish on the Internet. I have enjoyed being able to get on the site and now what knew things have been added to other people's blogs and the new things that are going on in the news and sports. I don't have to wade through a whole lot of duplicated material anymore and in turn make use of my time more wisely. The site www.del.icio.us is another website that was introduced in class on the 6th that has improved my world (i.e., made my life much easier). I am very grateful for learning about this website and being able to centralize all my favorites so I could access them over the Internet. These two things that we learned about shows the vastness of computers and the Internet and how they open the door for never being able to learn all there is to know about them. These are things we can study for the rest of our lifetimes and never stop being able to learn something new. Technology is so exciting and rewarding. Thanks again to everyone who was involved in introducing these new tools into our lives.

Hey Charlie,
Thanks for the comments. After about nine hours of sitting at the computer, and like you threating to call the supplier I purchased my Dell from, I got a call from a "resolution specialist" who was calling me from the Philipines!!!! He had me do a little programming changes and reset the baud to 115040 and it seemed to be a little faster. Then tonight I hooked my scanner/printer/fax back into the computer and I'm at a snail pace again. There is no hope for faster service. We don't have cable so DSL is out. I did talk to DishNetwork about the satilite issue they said maybe March! I must admit however, that the benifits of living on a farm outweigh the problems of Internet speed! See ya tomorrow!
