Busybody Internet Censorship

We have one of those "internet in the air" set-ups, and I know that people may be stealing our service. But sometimes our computer gets klutzy and latches itself onto the neighbor's censored internet service.  We're not interested.  As "senior citizens" child-proof internet isn't on the menu.

I'm old enough and anyhow don't look at what I shouldn't look at.

And, of course, those who the censorship is supposed to "help" (ie kids) are just the ones who are smart enough to get around it. :-)

My son had Internet access in his basement bedroom for a few months and I had no idea until I walked in and saw a Google screen. His teacher had given him a wireless modem; our neighbours had a free connection.

Not their fault, of course; it was ours for assuming he was "just playing games" on the computer. :-o

Great "game."
I'm glad my kids are all grown up now. We spent a fortune each time we were "the first on the block" to get computer viruses. Our late and lamented computer maiven learned the removals on ours.
