Kids Say The Funniest Things

We had an "Internet slow-down" here for about twenty minutes. I tried releasing and renewing the DHCP-assigned IP address for my router, but of course it wouldn't renew. So I said, "We've lost the Internet. I can't contact it." (meaning no ping to google.ca and microsoft.com) My son said, "Maybe we can get it with Internet Explorer?"

Gotta teach him about the seven layers of the OSI model soon...

Also, both my son and my wife actually looked *sad* when I announced a lack of full-time high-speed internet connection... I think they're addicted

TV and the Wii don't cut it any more?

They weren't even using the computers, they both just had that look of, "Oh my god, the internet's not available, now what will we do?" Then they went on with what they were doing (getting ready for bed and watching TV, respectively).

I remember the good ol' days where you had to wait for someone else to end their phone call to the BBS so that you could get on!

OMG teh interwebs!

Personally speaking when I lose connection there is a sense of loss, I do so much online now-a-days.

When the internets were down at my house last month during a weekend, I had to actually *shock* step outside to find out what the weather was before heading out with the kids...

Apparently you don't have Windows... Wait, windows. Man, capitalization carries so much meaning when talking about computers

Know whats slightly amusing? I have 4 windows, and 4 Windows in my livingroom waiting to be installed. Though I'm pretty sure the windows will be the only ones that get installed!
