[A/S] Re: On the road com
We are staying at The Ranch, an Escapees co-op park near Carlsbad,
NM. They have gone wireless here!
They charge $10/week and loan you a WiFi card if you don't have one. I
just had to try it even though the cell phone
works fine here. The speed is about 2 orders of magnitude faster than the
cell phone. It connects every time you turn
on the computer, and we don't have to wait until after 9:00 PM.
I think this is the wave of the future! I will buy my own card
eventually. The downside: $40/month + $30/month for
Earthlink = $70 or about $840/year! Lets hope the cost comes down as
availability increases.
As a side note: I haven't forgotten about posting the results of shimming
the hitch receiver, but we are setting still at the
present time, so no new information yet. And I have been using a Jordan
brake controller for over a year and I'm very
happy with it. BTW, I turn the sensitivity way down when backing the
trailer into a campsite. It's eraser to make delicate
movements that way.
