Since becoming re-addicted to coffee again, I'd rediscovered my need for a new travel mug. Just yesterday, I had to take my coffee to the movies in an oversized glass milk bottle, and, upon returning it to Gina's shelf, I remarked upon my renewed need to purchase one for myself.

And then today, in the mail, I got a box of goodies from A&E Networks for participating in a banner promotion with them. I'd forgotten that I got to choose from among a list of "prizes", and today, along with a Newsradio desk mike/radio, a Biography Channel tee shirt and baseball cap (anyone want a Biography Channel baseball cap?), a DVD and coffee-table book, arrived a stainless-steel Newsradio to-go mug.

I am well pleased.

Does anyone know why I'm having so much trouble with the internet from my iBook? My Airport shows the connection to my base station is strong, lots of signal bars, but I can't seem to load any pages on any web browser. Or, when they do load, I have to try several times and the loading is always slow and incomplete. And I can't connect to neighbouring open networks at all. I used to have no trouble with these things, although the problems did begin before I sent my iBook in to be repaired.

If anyone has any insights into this problem, please let me know. Could it be related to the fact that I've been using the base station to simultaneously connect both my base station to the Verizon DSL modem, and Kirsten's Sony laptop as well?
