I cannot even fill out the damn site this year. It will not let me add the rest of the family members. Tried 3 browsers. Everytime I click add applicant nothing happens.
I have purchased my own insurance since 2009 via a broker. I will likely continue to do so. but the ACA has jacked my rates so much that it is not funny. Our monthly rate prior to ACA was $560. I am currently paying $930 (was $830 prior to moving to Chicago) for less coverage.
It just goes to show how states differ on costs.. The plan I have for the five of us is $1,316, and we recently got a notification that while our dental would decrease,.. the health would increase.. Pushing it closer to $1,400....

Driving back home to Chicago just had a half hour FaceTime call with my daughter who has a 102.5° fever.
I'm sorry to hear this - Modern Tech is neat in that you can 'be there' while on the road... Hope she is better before the weekend.

And I'm back in the saddle again after an adventurous day IRL, lol. Had a Thanksgiving lunch at school with the kid. Upgraded wife's cell phone (Droid Turbo 2), Played musical "Car Titles-N-Tags" to get car tags on the vehicles they belong to. Left home at 10:30am and didn't get back until 8pm... What a night.

GOG Fall Sale Finale is on!!!

Exposing my spouse to the world of Linux with Linux Mint.... The computer at her office is a slug on the OS,.. can't really do anything on the internet,... so this was a simple way to not affect the computer (no ours) and allow her the freedom of surfing.

You should get her to join here and provide a review from her perspective!

My wife is none too happy... but it should be easily fixed just need someone who knows what they are doing to do it. Tiling isn't something I regularly work with so I try not to touch it if I can.

Attending this in a minute...
-
Wow, talk about a poor webinar. It's a small business audience, the vendor expert is talking about Fortune 500 solutions that no SMB could afford. The "community expert" that they have talking about implementation is so clueless about how "servers work" that he doesn't realize that your servers are supported as a single unit and he thinks that you have to get Western Digital to support your drives, LSI to support your RAID controller, etc. Um, why are the "experts" always people lacking even intern level experience. Argh. So useless.

the same goes for VDI - come on.. VDI for SMB? sigh
-
@scottalanmiller I was sad I couldn't attend that one until now

In this case, while the PC booted into LM, it would not find the Linksys USB wifi adapter...
It was then that we both thought of her just taking her practically new Dell laptop with her to use....little late now.
