Trials and Tribulations

A couple of trials and tribulations of late.

Since getting my Dad to use anything new on a computer is like pulling teeth with your bare hands, I decided that I needed to use the Dovetail software first. The catch being is that in the current version it's not set up spread the second account across multiple machines. I called tech support and they called back -- very personable and friendly. The next version will support this feature, and I was offered a beta, but I don't like messing with beta versions. So I figure I'll just fiddle with Dovetail on my parent's machine first.

In other tribulations, my Dad also accidentally severed the cable line while gardening. Since they have their phone, cable and Internet services all through Rogers Cable... that means that right now communications are restricted to cell only.

It's going to get fixed today at least.
