Yay! We are officially online. And, of course, no one's emailing me now that I have instant access.
So yes, we have joined the 21st century. I advertised on freecycle for a small computer desk (www.freecycle.org) and was happily rewarded with one that fits perfectly in our little apartment. I was using a small, round table before that just didn't hold all the computer paraphenalia, let alone snacks and coffee. So today I am one happy geek.
