re hurricane Earl
Power knocked out for 23.5 hours in my area due to many fallen branches &
some large trees. There was even a fire caused by wires coming down three
streets over.
Then after power was restored (luckily next door neighbour let me plug into
his generator to save refrigerated food), I found that I couldn`t access the
internet.
Called the help line and went through a few tests, but technician had to
come over this morning to replace my wireless modem.
So I`m back and ready for a fall cleaning of this newsgroup.
