Joe,

JM>  There is a bit of a trick to it through that I can't remember.
JM>Something about setting up your personal network.

  I've got one now, but a real complex password.

JM>  Other than the pc, that has no wifi, all mine connect to several
JM>options automatically.

  Mine are hard wired to the router, but the WiFi from the router is
where my cellphone connects to.

JM>  I found that if I need to call about a problem, like I had when the old
JM>modem died, the best times to call are early in the morning, before 6.30.
JM> I always get someone then after only a ring or two.

  You get them before they have their coffee and donuts. 

JM>  I'm generally an early riser so when I call at say 0530 I've been up a
JM>while already.

  If I'm up in the night, it's usually for "nature and a nightmare".

JM>  I was awakened around 2 a.m. to find a cop at my door asking why I was
JM>constantly calling 911.  I said a neighbour had borrowed my phone and
JM>showed them the empty charging cradle (or whatever it was called).  They
JM>went to him, got my phone back, gave him a lecture about that and gave me
JM>one about loaning out my phone.  Didn't do that again.

  One can't disable 911 on those phones. Otherwise, I would've let my
Mom keep it.

JM>  I move anything I can't replace (pictures, etc) to a thumb/CD as a back
JM>up and storage.

  I've got a backup drive with a program for both computers, but every
time I say I'm going to run the program, something always comes up.

Daryl
