Moving up in the on-line world

Jul 17, 2008 22:41

I finally did it. I finally got DSL. I spent all evening yesterday installing my new modem. The ethernet cable confused me because both ends had telephone-like jacks on them and the yellow socket on the back of my computer had a round socket. I called AT&T and it wasn't until 11:30 p.m. until both e-mail and internet service were thoroughly hooked up. I now feel like I'm in the 21st century. I stayed up another two hours watching clips on You Tube. This evening I watched the special Doctor Who installment of Weakest Link.

Now I'm anxious to remove a lot of the software that came bundled with my computer and have no idea how to do it. I heard there used to be a program called Nuts & Bolts that facilitated this need, but has long since gone out of print. Is there anything similar to it?

My cat, Spot, has taken to keeping close to me at the computer recently. She really likes the little space on the table next to the monitor. I wouldn't mind it so much if she didn't want to use the keyboard as a pillow.
