Of course, I am interested.

Just please bear in mind I probably will need some help in getting up to speed.

One problem I might be facing during the next few days:

We are currently home guests of our son and his family.

They are using a relatively new system to connect to internet,  a company that connects via the 3G network.

In the very near future they will be moving,  and us with them,  to an area where there is no coverage yet.

We all hate the idea,  after using this fantastic system,  of having to contract and wait for the installation a traditional connection via cable.
