I'm in Canada. Right now there are over 400 fires burning coast-to-coast and I was already evacuated once.
Fortunately the network survived and my home, sweet home, remains intact.
Living 19 days in the city was a real eye-opener.
Where I live (in the wilderness) the only reason I have high speed internet is OIL.
I'm surrounded by rivers, lakes, streams and trees. Lots and lots of trees.
I service a small town with a web page because we don't have a newspaper.
It's a labour of love.
Just want to say that it's good to be back home again.
__ oh! And why can't I get approved for the satarical Win 12 forum???

- Gave Dell touch screen with Windows 11 to daughter and got me an OTVOC. Being a PC builder I own many desktop PCs as well. I am a father of five providing PCs, laptops, and tablets for all my family, most of which I have modified, rebuilt, or simply built from scratch. I do not own a cell phone, never have, never will.
It looks like I'm in.
