Sunday morning our rental agent showed up to replace our modem, hoping to speed up our Internet service. He disconnected the existing modem and hooked up two, not one but two, electronic boxes each with a row of blinking green lights. A test showed the Net working better. Not well, but better. At last! Ten days after problems began, the bits and bytes were flowing acceptably again.
Returning from the meeting the Net had ceased to work. It had given up the ghost altogether. Five bars showed a full-strength connection but the system was in a state of rigor mortis.
Needless to say, I was not amused.
I thought it better to have poor Internet than none, so I disconnected one of the boxes and re-connected the original one. This still leaves me with two boxes blinking away, no idea why. But now, to my amazement and, to a degree, to my confusion as well, the Net is working better and faster than it ever has. I dare say it could not function better! Bizarre.
Look, Mom, I'm a
