First of all: Happy Birthday!
As for ...Hi Brenda,<br /><br />First of all: Happy Birthday!<br /><br />As for the internet connection problems, I would recommend that you get a 3G (mobile) connection - provided you have coverage (that house on the lake seem a bit remote, though). Over here in Europe we have companies that provide both DLS and 3G so you get a DSL/cable connection and when that line is down your modem/router switches automatically to 3G.<br /><br />That kind of redundancy (landline-mobile tower) is usually safer than DSL-cable (since both can be affected by construction work) or GSM-3G (lightning bringing down a tower, p.e.)<br /><br />If you don't get mobile internet coverage, then find a cheap DSL plan (I think Verizon has an offer that comes down to 10 USD/month), that for a low cost will provide you x20 times the speed of dial-up.<br /><br />And then of course, have your broker's phone number for emergencies (and pray they answer), a UPS, spare batteries (if you use a wireless mouse), mouse and keyboard, a four-leaf clover, a rabbit's foot...<br /><br />Oh, and an emergency checklist: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0805091742/ref=s9_simz_gw_s1_p14_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=11EH3A9QKAZWZGKVJWMM&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846" rel="nofollow"> The Checklist Manifesto: How to Get Things Right</a> and a "<a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/25312674/Emergency-Cheat-Sheet" rel="nofollow">cheat sheet</a>".<br /><br />Best trading - and <i>good luck</i> on Sunday<br /><br />JorgeJorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16875726059248008250noreply@blogger.com
