It seems that nobody realizes that I'm alive unless they need something. I'm beginning to feel like Rodney Dangerfield - I get no respect! I always get the "I need" calls.

But then it got a little irritating. While trying to surf the web, I noticed that web pages were taking much too long to load. This is always an irritant.

I know when I started in the computer industry in the early 90's I had trouble just remembering my password after 15 minutes of one-on- one instruction, much less how the computer actually worked. Let's face it, no one wakes up one day and says, I am a genius with this computer stuff. We all had to start some where and for most people, computers can be very confusing ...
