    Just one more inconvenience in your life - right Pat???

    Be very careful with free public WiFi - a great place to have your personal info stolen - especially passwords. I don't think I would be going on using a public WiFi to retrieve any of my bank or credit card info, or to pay any bills either.

    BE CAREFUL............

    Make sure you log out of Pet Talk when you are on, whenever you are using public Wifi. We do not keep anyone's credit card stuff or anything, but better safe than sorry!

    I'm sorry to hear this, Pat. Hope you will get a connection soon again - at least you can use the Library or Starbucks... perhaps also McDonalds and a few other places.

    Good luck with your back surgery, will be sending lots of positive thoughts.

    Thanks!

    Say he to the librarians for me! Libraries are some of my favorite places in the world!

    Do I need to actually log out, or is killing the browser sufficient? That's been my way of doing it (not having to worry at home), but I'll do an actual log-out this time and from now on.

    Thanks, Karen.

    Yeah - killing the browser does not log you out, you need to hit the "log out" button to clear the cookie from the computer's cache.

    Why don't you get an interet "stick"? I have one from Clear Internet. Unlimited use (you can use as much as you want, NO penalties or limits). It costs me around $50 per month. You can buy the acutal stick on ebay or amazon for about $20 ad just call Clear to set you up. It's VERY easy to do. I can take this thing with me wherever I go and use it in my laptop. Best invention since the wheel. It's very, very, fast, too.
    Proud to be a crazy cat lady!

    I have a Clear stick too. It's $39.99 per month. Clear is part of Sprint now. I got mine at Fry's electronics. all you do is put it in the USB drive and wait a moment while it finds a signal. When it is ready, the light on the device turns from yellow to green. I've had it over a year now and there have been probably 4 or 5 days when the tower was out and I couldn't get on the Internet. Katladyd, that's a great idea.
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!
