\u00a0<\/span>As regular readers know, we switched to a satellite internet service.<\/p>\n Recently I’ve also been fighting my way through some computer woes. That battle led me to doing a clean install of my operating system. Yep, I flushed everything, reformatted my drive, then reloaded the OS. No big deal, except that downloading fresh copies of every application I purchased, and all the security updates happened to be significantly larger than 10GB.<\/p>\n This too isn’t a big deal if you’ve got 100GB of upload and download per month.<\/p>\n Except that I don’t!<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n I gllanced over the shoulder of the other half, looked at a little graph, saw lots of green and promptly misread the number. in fairness, the data was represented in MB instead of GB so it wasn’t like i misread the difference between 10 and 100. It was the differnece between 9756.00 and 97560.00. Still bad, and God knows I wish the bank would make that kind of mistake, (in my favor) however it’s easy to do at a glance.<\/p>\n I told my computer to download everything! After all that’s what cloud services are for, right?<\/p>\n OOOOPPPSSS!<\/p>\n Now we get to find out what the internet service means by “Slows your service down<\/i>” for the next 15 days. My bad!<\/p>\n Getting dirty looks from the other half .<\/p>\n Maybe it was a bit excessive to be sitting on the couch, watching Netflix at the same time I was blowing through our 10GB monthly allotment in 2 hours. Maybe I should have double checked the plan just once more before pressing “ALL<\/i><\/b>“. It’s all data through the wire now…<\/p>\n I hear a certain woman in my head, “What does it matter at this point anyway?”<\/i><\/p>\n My computer is currently re-installing applications. I know I have the serial numbers for all those non-cloud apps somewhere around here. Its just going to be a challenge to locate them all. In the mean time, my iPad is substituting \u00a0for my computer.<\/p>\n This probably means that I’m going to make the mistakes in spelling that I complain about all the time. Perhaps, this is simply a case of not being able to beat them – so I’ve joined them.<\/p>\n Have a great day and think kindly of me as I serve my pennance in digital Hell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u00a0As regular readers know, we switched to a satellite internet service.
