The Pros and Cons of Archaic Systems

Trying to complete blogging assignments from the home of a tehnologically-challanged boyfriend sure does present a challenge. It is hard to imagine that anyone in the western hemisphere wouldn't have high speed internet access and a decent computer system.

Well my beau is among the few who seems quite content with an archaic system that runs slower than the pony express.

Word processing, blogging and research takes me about twenty times as long.

Of course the upside of all this is that when I'm at Dream Acres, being online is the absolute last thing on my mind!

I compromised, I splurged and bought an iphone, hoping that would keep me connected and up to speed when deadlines loomed.

Guess what? Now he's even impressed by the speed and capability of my iphone, he's looking into upgrading his home office and curious about ipods.
