Not certain I can help from my universe, but some reflections/questions on PPFY's dilemma.
Are you dialing in (using a modem) or using DSL/cable?
Modems can screw you up if the settings are wrong. "Echo" has to be set correctly, or what you type isn't echoed to your own screen. Then it's like writing a letter using lemon juice. The only way to see what you've written is to hold a flame up close to the paper. This might work for your computer, but probably not. In fact, forget I even mentioned it.
A wrong setting for echo is one possibility.
Having the modem set for half-duplex when it needs full-duplex, or visa versa, is another possibility.
I don't recall how to set these or check these. I've been in DSL-land too long. And I don't even know if you're using a modem. Just thought I'd throw out some ideas.
I'm nobody's pony.

It has to be really tight between the two reciever for it to work properly. Otherwise the harmonics won't be transfered from the one can to the other.

I am still typing blind, like Zatoichi. If he was a typist. Or someone who types things as a hobby. yeah.
Anyway, I am currently using a G4 laptop with "airport" and being quite wireless. i tried the Elder Gods Method (recommended by HK and Lothar of the Hill People, but all I did was get kelp on the keyboard and grow an extra set of...AIYEEE! THE HORROR!!!!).
But enough of that. i am still Typing Zato-Style and breathing widdershins. Help me, Spock!

PS: I still haven't found where I should put the kerosene in this thing...

tara played a monkey in a school play of the ramayana. they do the ramayana every year around this time in honor of diwalli. we're so pleased. this is exactly what we pay that high tuition for. anyway, she was a monkey and had to fight one of the demons. the demon grabbed her monkey ears and she was to shake her head back and forth as if the demon was shaking her head, but the kid playing the demon kept getting distracted and letting go. she had to keep grabbing his hands and putting them back on her ears.
her first fight scene. dm was so proud.

T recently decided that tricks could be too scary for her, especially after DM's 2006 Halloween night drop on BBLP. So she told me to inform the Brotherhood that she doesn't want you to make night drop tricks on her home. I told her that I'd submit that request, but I'm not sure that you'd all honor it. She said "Tell them it's ok for them to trick you at work, daddy."

Tara, just tell Daddy he has to be the first one out of the house in the morning. And make sure he starts the car before you get in.

T: There's Barbie getting married to another prince again. She must get a lot of divorces.
DM: That must be why she has so much great stuff.

So in between my attempts to explain 1st-thru-4th down, I tried to explain Prince to my kid, in particular, the 'symbol' and the whole 'The Artist Formerly Known as Prince' thing. Today she told Mrs. Dm this:
'I don't think he should be called 'Prince'. He should be called 'Princess'. He certainly acts like one.'

The nephew was given two keys to his locker at school. I don't know why they weren't just given combos like the rest of us. He was told to keep the spare key in a really safe place in case he lost the first key, which he promptly did. Guess where he kept the spare.
That's right. He kept the spare key in his locker. And he goes to Bellarmine . . . .
