... not the leaping Wolf we had when going from Cubs to Scouts!
You may recall, I had posted about updating our operating systems on our Macs to 10.4 Tiger, and that I have installed Airport Extreme on all of the machines.
Well, it just jets better. For quite a few years, we have been waiting for Telstra to update the Pair Gain system in our area, so we can access ADSL. It has finally happened!
My son Mark, has been keeping an ever vigilant eye on the big green box around the corner from us, and had noticed a serial number change stencilled onto it. He quickly got in touch with an ISP, and pre booked an ADSL line, as there are only 48 lines available. We've got the modem & filters, just waiting for the nod from the ISP.
What is really good, is that there is an internet music download site, in a few countries around the world, known as Apple iTunes. We have been waiting for around 3 years for this to become available here in Australia. Looks like maybe a couple of weeks away now, so all you guys with iPods, you can browse through the store, and but individual tracks, or the whole album, and it's all above board & legal. I'll be browsing & downloading at blistering speeds!!!
Knowing my luck, all this will happen whilst I'm away for a while, all this new technology entering Wolfies household, and I'm gonna miss it, 'cause I'm going to be soooo far away from phones & stuff..........
I must admit though, the care factor is really very close to zero. Somehow the sweet hum of my computer is going to be no match for the hum of the flies........
So, the Lone Wolf will soon become Lightning Wolf. Going to
places no other wolf has gone before.
No more will my poor old mum berate me for not being able to get through to me on the phone....( they have an aversion to calling mobiles ).
This is Lone Wolf reporting in
Adelaide, on the fast disappearing 56 k dial up internet......
