    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

How many MULTI computer families do we have here ?

with 4 ( 2 adults and 2 daughters ) more than average computer comprehensive knowledge residents at my place, we have 3. I'm the dummy though on the comprehensive part. Oh boy, I thank whomever for the router invention so all computers can be linked. How many of you all that have multiple computers hooked up has their Internet providers or DSL, phone line, satellite companies want to charge EXTRA for more than one computer hook up ? My DSL provider tried to get me to pay an extra $10 a month for my other 2 lines. I said no ! And that all of my phones, long distant service, regular phone service, and the $39 monthly billing of their DSL was enough gouging ! They have not pressed the issue anymore.
 
We're a multi computer family. We have five here. One Mac, one linux and three windows. Not all of them are hooked up to the net though. One of them needs to be shot, but it's still great for playing the older games!
We use a router and wireless cards also. Now the only problem comes when everyone wants to download quickly!
:rofl:
Seems like our house is the hang out place and someone is always on at least one of the computers!
I think everyone wants to charge more for each computer. Unfortunately some poor soles don' t understand about the routers and pay it. I am on DSL, paying for 1.5, wish I could afford more speed, but it's way too expensive!
 
Multi computer

We are a multi computer family. We have two up and running and connected to dsl. Everyone fights for the faster of the two. The "grown kids" stop to see the computers, not us or there younger siblings LOL
