					<description><![CDATA[One tip, if this happens on the future. Most modern phones can become a &quot;mobile hotspot&quot;, broadcasting a wifi signal that you can connect to with your computer. 

Depending on your phone model, there&#039;s often an icon that you can click from the quick settings menu: the first time you do it, you can create a network SSID and password. Then, just connect to that network from your PC.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Neo:  &quot;Comcast is the only game in town where I live.&quot;

I&#039;m not sure that&#039;s true any more.  I&#039;ve had Starlink for internet at my vacation place in NH for almost a year.  Easy to set up, and, so far, reliable high speed internet.  

Of course, it&#039;s just internet, so if Comcast provides your phone and TV also, you&#039;d need other solutions for those.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[&quot;I just hate it when there are connectivity problems.&quot;  You &#039;n&#039; me both, sistah.

It strikes me that at this late date, with all the do-it-yourself-ing that you do relating to the blog, you might actually qualify for an honorary apprenticeship somewhere, somehow.

(In my little sphere, my do-it-yourself-ing is limited.  Sometimes I can be helpful for me and/or spouse, but esteemed stepson is a *major* IT guru and he&#039;s happy (or so he claims [smile]) to help out, more often remotely (via e-connection) than in person.)]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[M J R:

Thanks!  

I just hate it when there are connectivity problems. Fortunately, that &quot;too many requests&quot; message seems to be happening much less frequently. I don&#039;t know why - I tried a bunch of fixes and maybe one of them helped.  But since web developers are very difficult to find for a small site and are very expensive, I&#039;m pretty much on my own when I try to fix things. I&#039;m happy, though, that so far (knock wood) the new comments policy has been going very smoothly.]]></description>
