It's my first Motorola modem--after a decade of Motorola smartphones.

I had Spectrum come out last week to troubleshoot our connection issues. They did find some loose connections [outside], but suggested getting a new modem and router. I didn't realize until later that they were both ≈5 years old. But during @olbriar's router quest, I had looked up both of their specs, and found they're both perfectly capable of speeds several times faster than mine.

Anyway, I decided to go ahead and get a new modem and see how things go.

I found out while Spectrum was here--and I had no Internet connection--that my router works blazingly fast on my network, e.g., working on files on my computers from my phone, so I don't think the router's a problem.
 
So I decided to get a new router; the new modem alone wasn't helping our connectivity issues. After some research I bought this:

It came today, and we're up and blazingly fast running with it! :)

I stuck with Linksys since I've always had good luck with them. My how things have changed! It's been 5 years--almost to the day--since I set up the last one, and I remember a lot of manual work. This sucker practically installed itself.

In my excitement, I forgot to take before-and-after screenshots on my laptop, showing ping results. Oh well. But what had taken ≈3000ms now takes 12! :D
 
My husband's hair had already started that odd phenomenon when I met him at 17. He was all of 23 at the time, still in the Air Force. :eek:

My father was near bald by the time he reached his forties. I'm starting to thin on top now but I'm knocking on seventy.
However, what was once down to my waist is barely on my neck now and I've not seen a barber in fifty years.

Not necessarily a purchase but definitely in the same vein as the current flow.. my wife was finally able to see her beautician today. She wears her hair in a light brown with blond streaks. She was so long between hair appointments that there was a gray area... but hey... I didn't see it and I darn sure didn't post that info. :)
 
my most recent big purchase was a $60 spring jacket

I bought it because I felt that I needed a spring jacket for the upcoming spring

i bought it at a store

i dont typically care about big prices (unless its WAY too much) and going into stores to buy them, because if you need it you need it, plus, why wait for it to be delivered plus all that extra tax?

however if you are talking about big as in large items:

i got a recently purchase closet organizer, we bought that from a store because it was a do-it-yourselfer... i think we usually buy big stuff from stores anyways

I buy just about all my apparel online now. Or occasionally from charity shops when I'm in the UK.
 
Just redownloaded Street Fighter three, it is free because payed for it once.
So that is a score, since I needed to really work out the kinks in the game again.
