Hey--I saw your comment on [Bad username or unknown identity: thespos"]'s recent LJ post, and then saw your post here: Join the Luddites. This post reminds me of the time I thought I'd outsmart Microsoft by getting two PCs, and networking them. See, I figured that if one computer went down, I'd still have use of another computer. In practice, however, I had twice the problems with two PCs, than I did with one PC, plus problems with the network.
I have a backup wifi router I'll try, but ARGH. The whole point of this exercise was better more reliable internet and less electricity usage. My blood pressure is ridiculous over this.
Exactly. But, it doesn't seem to work out that way. However, the time away from actually using IT, and money poured into establishing and re-establishing, and maintaining that IT, rises.
