    After living in my Solstice Palace for 6 days, I can finally go online!

    There's a WIFI monster living within the walls of this 118-unit community, so I don't need my modem/router anymore!

    The technician who set me up also showed me how I could get on the internet using my cell phone... this is Magic!

    I feel like a missing lung has been surgically re-connected!

    That is total AWESOMENESS , @Hal Pollner ! All this time we have been trying to tell you that you would enjoy Wifi once you used it, and I think you are on the way to some fun online adventures now.

    Yvonne, I don't feel that I'm "using" WiFi...it's just envelopes you like the atmosphere you breathe without even being aware of it!

    WiFi indeed! :rolleyes:

    You just described AM/FM/UHF/VHF/satellite/microwave/short wave radio/long wave radio/buncha stuff I cannot recall.

    It's all magic!!! It's also a little frightening...at the cell level.

    I find it amazing that we can make phone calls over wi-fi/internet, even if there's no cell tower anywhere near.

    Because of the endless zapping we get from those same waves I find it amazing that we’re not all a bunch of sterile zombies with two brain cells wandering about looking for educational material like remakes of the three stooges.

    Oh yeah, welcome to, “Another World” Hal.

    I guess wi-fi is a minor [cell-level] transgression.

    What hell hath Marconi wrought?
    "Monster in the walls," indeed.

    So, Hal, now that you're tech-enabled, we want to see some Meal Pics.

    That's great, Faye...but how do I demodulate the waveform to create the actual audio?
