Internet woes, followers, and spring

On the day that the RV tent opened here in Quartzsite AZ, I started having big difficulty getting onto the internet on my desktop computer.  After a couple of days of no contact with my blogging buddies I was feeling really unsettled, so I decided to pull out my old laptop and see if I could get on with it.  It worked fine and whew was I glad that I could get to my buddies' blogs to see what's happening in their lives.  

 Now the tent is gone and so are many of the people who were camped here for the tent.  I was surprised that I still cannot get onto the internet with my desktop computer.  My laptop is working fine to get me online, however.

 The whole thing makes me wonder if the signals were being crowded by all the folks in the area...do any of you understand this phenomenon?
Since the blogger fest, I have noted a few new followers on my blog site.  Today, I an welcoming Jan Mains, Jim and Sandy, and Stella and Rory from Down Under.

I met Jan Mains at the blogger fest, and the main reason I remember her is that she had a broken heel bone and was using a knee walker to move around.  The nurse in my heart made me ask about her foot and the walker and etc.  She was so nice in explaining about her injury! She has a blog, named "Bill and Jan RVing the USA."
Jim and Sandy wire a blog named Where are the Dixons today? 

 Stella and Rory are two dogs in South Australia.  Rory is a Dane with a fascinating medical history.

    It could be that more people = more people trying to get online and flooding the area.

    Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.

    Hope you are having a nice week. Sue, Polly & Honey.

    I have had so many Internet issues. LOL I know you read about my recent usage going sky high. This month everything is fine. I find Internet and computer issues so frustrating, but I just keep plugging away at it until I figure it out.

    I am not sure what your issue could be. It sounds like the desktop is not recognizing your Internet provider. Have you called the provider? That is always fun. LOL

    I really do hate computers - but they are a necessity. Somedays I just want to throw mine out the window. Good luck with yours.

    Technology is great when it works, and frustrating as all get out when it doesn't!
