per_soloAnyone know where I can get a dependable cable modem?
It occured to me last night (as it does now and then), that I'm basically losing a LOT of money by renting a cable modem from Comcast for every month, for the last..what, 5 years?
The only reason I'm seriously considering is I think that mine is starting to crap out a tad...usually at lesat once a day, it'll just lose signal, then start coming back...and, well, if it's the modem, then I'd just as soon replace it...Comcast at one point made an offer to, but that involves being charged for a "house call", and I'd as soon avoid that as possible.
Because really, with renting this cable modem, I've spent enough to have bought it, a few times by now, I think.
Other than that? not much going on..hooked as hell on FFIX...am going to finish that at some point..right now, am going through and doing the side quests and such...waiting for Frogs to spawn. :-P
Dinner tonite with Uncles, then Orientation tomorrow at IUPUI, so if I"m quiet and appear to have disappeared, pay it no mind...all is going as it should.
Tried a Soy Chai Latte today...was pretty darn good, if I do say so, and I do.
Nothing else to really update right now.

Date: 2005-12-02 12:09 pm (UTC)I'm going to look into this tonite..or this weekend. As is, IUPUI Orientation is today, and this will have to wait for me to look at til after...all my focus is going into today, and the unknown of that this brings.
My Modem is a Doxport...and, if I get a modem, it'll likely be a Linksys..heard wonderful things over the years, and I figure that I've bought one many times over. :-P
Thanks for the comment below as well..am not ignoring anything (Although the mailing list is, um,interesting..yeah, that's the word)...will try to be more coherent and awake later.
