Home-School Network Admin

Little did I know that when we decide to home-school our children I would become our principal and Network Administrator.
It's just about a full time job dealing with the setup/connections/workflow of 2 desktops, 3 laptops, a DVD recorder/burner hooked-up to our satellite dish (classes for the kids pipe in from Bob Jones University) and a printer/scanner/copier.
Sheesh.
I had to train my son quickly and give him administration rights to our home network... especially when it comes to loading the education software while I am out of the 'principals office'.
What has complicated things even worse is the recent addition of a wireless network.
We are currently trying to get it up and running so we can all have internet connectivity and also take advantage of the single printer station from anywhere in the house.
I am soon to become the Network Security Manager as well.
:)
Gone are the days of college-ruled paper and pencils!
Woof.

HEY MIKE!

Now think back... way, way back, no, farther... farther... Keep going... Sacramento California... Summer... of pushing shopping cart into Gemco...

Now, can you guess who this is? :-)

DUDE! It's been a long long time. Your sister nearly kncoked me off my feet. I was innocently shooting the breeze with a classmate over some lunch when this strange woman walks up and askes, something like

"Do you remember me?"

Good LORD! She could have knocked me over with a feather! I'm not sure, my mind was realing, but I probably said something stupid! :7)

Ask Miriam for my e-mail... not a good idea to put it in a public place. I'd love to hear from you directly!

Is this from Dan Willey?
The guy I sold a magnificent train set to for a mere $10 when I was a kid?

Oh my gosh.
I will contact you via email!
