    Patting myself on the back....

    The Grants have finally entered the 21st century....

    Our 15-year-old TV finally bit the dust (I have been looking forward to that!! Yippeee!!)

    We ventured out and bought a new flat screen TV with built-in WI-FI.

    Then we discovered that our modem and router for the wireless internet is very old (2005).....resulting in the TV not connecting to the wireless network.

    SOOOO.....
    Today, I installed a Netgear data gateway (cable modem plus router all in one). I changed the network name and the key, then I got the TV wireless working (Netflix). And it all works. I'm so impressed with myself!! ha ha ha

    I just thought I would share that. I do not have the greatest electronic capabilities, so this was a pretty major accomplishment. Bert hooked up all of the TV/cable/DVD player/sound.....so I thought the least I could do is make the wireless work!!

    Here's the funny thing -- all of that work to bring our family into the 21st Century????

    The first thing we watched on Netflix on the TV was...............



    Andy Griffith show.


    LOL

    You can take the girl out of the 50s, but you can't take the 50s out of the girl, I suppose.......


    Carry on........

    you played a major part of the movement into the 21st century. Fixing up the wifi is pretty nifty there. Congrats!
