Lack of a sensitivity chip or A.S.?

The internet has opened a whole new world and point of view to our family. I discovered the internet several years ago as I coaxed my 14.4 modem to stay connected while others in my family picked up the phone and disrupted the service.

Then I moved on to 28.8 & 52.2 bps and a second phone line…all the while telling my wife the amazing stuff that can be found out there. She didn’t understand it and didn’t want to be bothered with my computer rantings.

Onto a DSL line and the need for speed. I purchased a laptop five or six years ago for the Mrs., set up a wireless network and created a monster…so to speak.

Now, she is pontificating the wonders (and foibles) of the internet and telling me how much more she knows than me.

But she didn’t get there without a few trial and errors.

Do you know what references showed up when I googled 'Young Women' as I was looking for lesson material?!!

[It is well known that pornography is the #1 hit on the internet. Did you know that #2 is genealogical research? Maybe the reason that genealogy is #2 is because the #1’s are trying to find out if they are related. —ld]

The internet has been a major boon to my wife as she prepares and researches material for her lessons. It has also become insightful for her (so she says) in describing my idiosyncrasies.

B.I. (before internet), I had sometimes been accused of lacking a sensitivity chip. A.I. (after internet), the lack of a sensitivity chip has now been diagnosed as A.S. —Asperger’s Syndrome [as opposed to A.S.S. —Arnett Self-assured Syndrome] and she encourages me to take a multi-vitamin with daily frequency.

Ahhh, the foibles of the internet.
