As the recent crash of the XT network in New Zealand fades into a distant memory for many, especially those that chose to go elsewhere for their service some of us are wondering when we are going to get a decent broadband service.

ReplyDeleteHere's hoping all of our gremlins meet with a nasty fate (maybe we can send them all to Neptune - hmmm?)
Mmm all sounds just too familiar.... and we have come to rely on the Internet for "sew" many things and of course to stay in touch.
ReplyDeleteWould you all agree that at least quilting and related hobbies are stable - a good thing.
Hope its better now Michele, have friend had same trouble with computer.
