susandennisMom (and Daddy, who was still alive at the time) moved into this place in January of 1999, the very minute it was finished. There had long been a nursing wing and a dependant living wing, but this was the first independent housing this outfit had built. And they did a great job.
It is apartments ranging from 1,100 square feet to 1,400 like Mom's and small free-standing cottages. They thought of everything and included it except internet connection. In January of 1999 broadband was too new here in South Carolina.
They are too far away from the phone station for DSL but the cable company has made a killing installing broadband internet access out here. They have a fairly good size computer user group and the internet is a big deal to a fair number of these old codgers.
I know my Mom gets pretty pissy when her connection goes down and today's outage was a big topic in the bar tonight. There were some unhappy Senior surfers... Do not mess with their internet connection, thank you very much.
