I love the Internet

I’ve said it before and I know I’ll definitely say it again, but I really do love the Internet and everything (nearly) that it enables.

My dad (self-confessed technophobe) has just set up his brand spanking new internet radio (Roberts WM201) – using the easy to use Netgear browser interface and adding the radio manually by MAC address to the trusted access list. I was able to go to the Roberts website, download the manual and run through the whole set-up procedure with him.

He’s now happily surfing over 6,000 internet radio stations and checking out on demand content from BBC Radio 4 from his study in the Northumbrian hills (where he can’t get FM because of said hills and only just gets broadband because of the distance to the nearest exchange).

And for I think perhaps the first time ever, dad’s got a piece of kit I haven’t got! Bit jealous really . . .

Nice one dad and thank you Internet.
