Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsJust a quick post-move "Hello" / check-in...
Arrived in Nevada on Friday. Lots of stories surrounding the move. Mitt Romney ads air approximately every 30 minutes here, sunup till sundown. Am shopping around for a Wireless USB adapter so I can have connectivity back at the house...right now I'm at my sister's place, on her computer. Definite culture shock going on...this definitely ain't Silicon Valley. But as Sheryl Crow once sang...

(30,885 posts)...Internet service is going to be a challenge here (a few $45 a month providers with setup fees ranging from $150-$250)...AT&T is suggesting digging a trench from my sister's property to me (300 feet). Radio Shack suggested the same solution. It may be what we end up doing but for now, I will probably come to her house daily and catch up on things, do whatever my clients need (I did not give that up...all of my Silicon Valley clients are now long-distance clients, but still clients). I just won't be active at all on DU until I have my own connection...so please keep the home fires burning and a light in the window.
