Subscribe Feed (RSS)Out of Dial-up Land
September 28th, 2008 by Lauren | Filed under About Me, Business Building.It has actually been over a week since I moved out of dial-up land – I will never look back! I am so happy, and have been catching myself up with the internet! This has already proven itself to be a giant step to improving my online business life
-I am now able to access all of our training audios and videos, plus recorded and live webinars offered at Send Out Cards. The knowledge I can gain from all of this will be invaluable. I am not at a place that I can afford the long distance call to be in on the weekly conference calls and team call, but at least most of them are recorded and I can now listen, or watch them whenever I want.
-I’m no longer behind in the chats! There were times, back in dial-up land, when I just felt so lost in our chatroom conversations at MomChats.com – everyone would be a response ahead of me – at least now I can keep up. Not sure if anyone else notices the difference, but I do!
-My concentration seems to have improved somewhat as well. In dial-up land I had so long to wait for pages to come up sometimes I would get lost and forget what I was doing – “Now why did I want to go here?? what was I doing?” LOL! I can browse through my Photobucket account images, find what I’m looking for without having to wait a minute for the images to load.
-Nice to have some online radio to listen to. Our home receiver is burned out, and my clock radio has limited reception. I usually need some sort of background noise, and the TV can be such a distraction.
-Plus, I have developed a new relationship with my laptop – comes in handy when son #1 wants to get nlne to play his games. Now at least I don’t have to pace the floor for 2+ hours waiting for his promised time to be over. My business has also just become more portable – with my having the wireless connection! Whoo Hoo!
Okay, I know that I haven’t mentioned anything here that isn’t anything new to mmost of you – but humor me! I prommised hubby that i wouldn’t upgrade to hi-speed until my internet income could pay for it. so this is a milestone, and what I consider to be another launching point for me in my online business efforts!

It’s just night and day isn’t it? It’s awesome to get more stuff done in the same amount of time. Makes it so you can get off the computer and go play more. Although I did get more done around the house when I was on dial-up. Cause I’d go do some dishes or fold laundry while waiting for pages or downloads. lol
Bahaha! That’s true – I don’t walk away from the computer as much anymore! Oh, and I forgot to mention no one has to worry about getting the busy signal when they call the house anymore – though I’m not sure that’s a good thing!
