: HI Mike,

: My Google search is running OK with out any warnings.

: I am in an excellent area to use 3-G. There is a site here in the US to check
: the footprint of the cell area. There are two kinds of strenth signals,
: one, if my memory serves me right is 0, and the other is 1 which is the
: strong one for computers best speeds. This is particularly good for me
: since I am in a wooded area.

: John

I found out that the Google problem was Google foffing about with some security add-ons and a screw-up occurred. It was only for a bit less than an hour but it happened while I was on a search for something. serendipidous irritation.

On 3G, if you have good signal like that, it should be fine. Population density has an effect as well, if a lot of calls or texts are made through a cell, internet access drops because of priority loading toward voice and text.
I could always tell when school finished for lunchtime or days-end, the students go full ahead with calling/texting their friends. Usually the friends they were sitting beside all day. :)

While I was on a 3G modem, I thought all kayaks looked like a little square with a red X in the middle. :D And that a lot of sites used the same frontpage, the one that says "Page cannot be displayed". :) :)

(I wondered how I could get kayaks into this.) hehe
