Should I Connect to High Speed Internet?
« Reply #45 on: June 15, 2003, 04:56:01 PM »
Hello again MrsLop

I was doing my own check on Broadband for the UK and found a link to this site for Mac users on Broadband. Haven't checked it out in detail (and if someone has already given you this link, apologies to you and them), but it may be some help to you.

Good Day MrsLop!

I'm enjoying "The Adventures of Mrs Lop in Mac Land". smile.gif

As you say, "Time will tell." My Dad's cancer was very aggressive and had spread. However he's doing well after 2 rounds of radiation treaments, after 3 1/2 years.

My prayers are with you. smile.gif

So, you play the piano..... I play the guitar. I find playing music is a great way to get out of myself and
pass the time away.

I'm going to take a nap myself now, it's been a long father's day! wink.gif

Good Evening All,

HIGHMAC: Another TS Member was researching ISP costs for me.  I am so confused about all this. DSL, ISP, High Speed Internet.  I think I need to go a little more slowly on this, as I don't want to get into long term contracts with penalties etc..

Dreambird:  I sang my little heart out today.
I congratulated as many of the students during the sign of peace today at Mass.  Afterwards, I was starting to fade a little.  Some of the students came over to see how I was doing during the Reception for them afterwards.  I must have been confused about the music.  I may have a nother two weeks for that 'Ave Maria."  I did have a nice rest this afternoon.

Gary S:  " Music soothes the savage Beast..."  I love to play the piano. I have played since I was three.  In 1997, I suffered injuries to both hands. I have had many operations since.  I can no longer play very quickly at all.  Will post more on this subject, below.


 thanx.gif I don't know what I would do without you all!

Good Evening Bernie,

My cup runneth over...

Thank You, seems like such a puny response to such a magnanimous gesture.

May you be richly blessed in return...

Dear All,

I did not want to start another thread, though this is clearly off topic.

I had a wonderful Wedding at my church last September 7th.  My husband was a widower, whose late wife, of twenty years,  died of a swift acting disease.
Between us, we have eight children and four grandchildren.  

We thought that the most traumatic thing we were to face was another hand surgery for me.  We were married less than three months when I was diagnosed with Cancer on December 3rd, 2002.  I was operated on December 19th.  In many ways, I feel worse for my husband, the loss of his late wife had been a real trauma for him.  Now to be faced with my illness, so soon after our marriage, it just seems a bit much.  He is such a good, kind soul.
I need the hand surgery badly, but since it was not life-threatening, my Surgeon and Chemotherapist said "Absoutely Not."  Sometime later this Summer or Fall, I will have to undergo  the hand surgery.  On February 10th , my Maid-of Honor died of Leukemia,  Sister Maria Frances Conway was a Sister of Mercy.  She was one of the finest individuals I have ever known.  She was the type of person who always made time to help a person in need.  Though she was diagnosed as terminally ill, and knew that she was dying, she never told me.  She didn't want to disappoint me.  She was there for me at my Wedding, as my witness.  It proved to be the last public function she was to perform.  I started Chemotherapy and then went to her Wake. Her  Funeral was on Valentine's Day.  She was loved by so many people.  I treasure what she said " I don't want to die dying, I want to die living (my life)." Now that, my friends is an example that I aspire to.
Now you know the who and why of MrsLop, for the most part.  I want to do as much as I can, for as long as I am able.  How I live my life is more important to me than how long I have to live it.

The computer will be my link to all of you.

It is my hope to be able to learn, with your help, how to do all that I need to do with a Mac.  More importantly, I hope that you all feel comfortable doing so.  Please, stop by and just say "Hello" and let me know how you are doing.

Thus far, it has been a wonderful experience for me.  You have all shared something of yourselves with me, as well.  Thank you all -

A sad but inspiring story, MrsLop. Thanks for sharing it.
By the way don't worry about starting another thread - we do it all the time! It's generally accepted practice to start a thread that's NOT directly about Macs with OT (Off Topic) especially when the title is a cryptic crossword clue biggrin.gif . Helps those with slow dial-ups (like us) pick and choose which threads to follow.

I'm blessed Mrs.Lop by having great friends here at TS smile.gif  I suffer from  Lupus and  live day by day. I still work which Doctors say I shouldn't but I get a great satisfaction helping people. Makes me feel good.  There's a lot of people out there suffering from diseases worse then mine.  So yes! I'm Blessed.  Which reminds me. Got to go and take my Plaquenil.  
 Anyone know what this drug is for and what it does???

Good Afternoon All,

I wanted to send my Thanks to those of you who are helping Bernie with the shipping costs of the Processor.
 
I am doing a mental juggling act, as usual.

I am rearching for information concerning the 4400/200 and getting nowhere, as I can't find things too easily at the Apple Website.

I am already working out my budget for July.  My husband's healthcare provider is raising it's rates for specialist visits.  As it is, I am required to see the Radiologist every week.

I called the Chemotherapist to ask why I am having intermittent strange sensations in my head, accompanied by sharp pain.  I also asked about the loss of vision focus, accompanied by blurriness.  She said that I should call 911 or get to the Emergency Room
as soon as it happens again.  She is not sure, but thinks they could be early warning signs of something else: stroke, blood clot to the brain etc.  This is not a fun thing to hear.  She said that it was definitely not Chemotherapy related.

I will be going to be having Radiation this afternoon - then home to rest.  

In the interim, I will be looking for links for information  the 4400/200.
 thanx.gif

Myrna! I just got done packiing up your Power Mac 7200/75 I decided to give you this Mac  instead of the 4400 since this particular Mac has 3 PCI slots for upgrading. The 4400 only has  2 PC( Via a Bridge.)  ( Kelly will explain what a Motherboard bridge is)   Maybe Kelly ? Devilish2.gif  Anyway. I've printed out the specifications about you older Mac .It's  the Box. ( The box is what my Delta Mitre Saw came in)
Here's the specs for you now,
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powe...ac_7200_75.html
Here's what  I think you need as far as getting the Mac running great.
You'll see. TS will help you find the best prices on Memory. Contoller card to add a ATA HDD since SCSI'S HDD'S " are more expensive" That's what type of drive you have." Anyway, You're at the best Mac info. site on the net. stick with us smile.gif
