And at DSL or better speed, too.<BR/><BR/>Right now I'm at the CyberCafe in the village of La Atravezada (about three miles from Margy's place which used to be Joes' place which used to be our place). I have my ThinkPad connected to their network which is accessing the Web via dial-up. And that at a speed 50% faster than what I have on dial-up at home in Oregon!<BR/><BR/>Like you say, amazing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-1162651273994765742006-11-04T06:41:00.000-08:002006-11-04T06:41:00.000-08:00My lands, Dorcas, you hit the nail on the head. Ye...My lands, Dorcas, you hit the nail on the head. Yes, it's an enjoyable craft, but it's so hard to come up with freshness, creativity, inspiration and all of those things readers expect, and yet when you feel the Holy Spirit pouring His thoughts through you, and you sit back and wonder at it, knowing exactly where that came from, it's reassuring to know that you're in God's mission field. Bless you, Dorcas. You're a very real blessing to so many.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-1162573334034475722006-11-03T09:02:00.000-08:002006-11-03T09:02:00.000-08:00Demonstration of the frustration--can't even spell...Demonstration of the frustration--can't even spell anymore!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11022879.post-1162573247767015422006-11-03T09:00:00.000-08:002006-11-03T09:00:00.000-08:00So true.
