Our new modem has arrived. The guy at Verizon said it’d solve our problems–no more losing our connection to the Internet.
It came with several pages of instructions and warnings and, for all I know, prophecies, all in a typeface that makes legal notices look like screaming headlines.
The last time we got a modem, all we had to do was plug it in. Well, that’s changed.
We’re going to have to get a professional to install this for us. I mean, we just can’t make head nor tail of it. What happens if you put the wrong cable into the wrong outlet? We don’t want to go blundering into The Last Days of Pompeii, do we?
Life keeps getting more and more complicated.
