cooked modem and sad day tomorrow


Aussie Ken

Hi there

Been off air for a week or so because during an electrical storm our modem got cooked. Luckly we had pulled the electrical plug out of the wall sockets to protect the PC from surges, but as the telephone connection didn't have a surge filter the modem got zapped. So we have been waiting for our service provider to send us a new one. (thank god it was under warranty). so we are going to see the people at the electronics store and buy a suitable filter.

 

Tomorrow we say goodbye to a great mate, unfortunately he lost his fight against lung cancer, at 64 thats too young to die. He was a great family man, grandfather, loved working in his community. Mike was our Lions Club Santa and loved being driven through the Cambridge Park and Werrington (Sydney) area every Christmas eve were us Lions would hand out lollies to the local kids. He will be missed.

 

So i must get walking again so i can join in the fun and see the look on the kids faces as Santa calls out their names.

 

now to have a good read of the blogs and see whats been happening.

Hi Ken, That was interesting what you said about the telephone line zapping your modem, I never thought about that & always pull the computer out from the power.So what is this surge filter & where do you put it???We had to get a new modem from telstra as ours packed up as well. What a pain it is !!

Sorry about your friend, 64 is too young too die but unfortunately it happens more & more!

I am sure you will be able to give out the lollies to the kids this Christmas & remember your friend as you do it.

Best wishes Anne.
