Re: Bored of the Internet

My Favourites list is very long, I've got this site and 2 local ones to where I live, about 30 free games, loads about gardening, food and recipes, internet shopping and banking, the Lottery, Premium Bonds and dozens of others. I use google regularly and, of course, my most used form of communication these days is email.

I've had a computer for over 20 years, as my husband was "in the business", and I remember when the net first really got going. He rang one afternoon, from a place in Preston where he was doing a job, and told me to switch the PC on. When I did he talked me through a load of technical stuff and I was left with a blank screen which suddenly got the words, "Hello, it's me" spelled out across it. He told me to type something in so I did, I wrote, "What would you like for tea?" Back came the answer, "Can we have egg and chips please?" I was gobsmacked that I was able to talk to him via the computer - but look how normal that is now with MSN etc.

Bored with the internet? You're not using it to capacity.
