Les, our computer expert in Palm Desert, CA., was able to get us
Instant Flix there by shifting the position of the router from my office to the
TV room. It is now perched precariously
on a small tripod behind an easy chair next to the TV set.
He suggested that I try a new, better and more powerful router
in Santa Fe. With some concern that I
was throwing good money after bad, I bought the latest version of the best
Belkin router in Palm Desert, CA, but would is find a good home in Santa Fe?
I waited a couple of weeks after we arrived to install the
Belkin Router because I didn’t want to suffer through another technological
defeat (e.g. email that I couldn’t send, TV that needed outside expertise just
to turn it on, etc.) Although I was
victorious in every case, it depressed me to (1) understand how little I knew
about these gadgets, (2) how difficult it was to understand the Indian or
Indonesian technical experts on the phone, and (3) how long the process
took. I probably put in eight hours on
the phone working to solve this problem.
