An Angel for Century Village. Cost only $3 per month for ever and ever.
If you ever are in need of a laugh, I wholeheartedly recommend going to the "other" blog, you know, the one where the same people blog over and over again and this time they put it on two blogs.
Anyway, a posting this morning has me concerned about someone's stability. The article was entitled An Angel for Century Village. And just what is that angel? Why it is wi fi!!!! That has been posted by one of the ninnies and I could scarcely believe it. An angel is one who would take care of our medical needs or cover our expenses or rebuild all our facilities or even rebuild the golf course, but putting in wifi so some people don't pay a different fee, so they could pay $3 and every year add more and more and more to the fees. What an angel! Good thinking there, Elaineb. Keep it up.
Elaineb, try putting yourself in other people's shoes for a change. These are the people who do not have internet access nor want it nor can afford it. Most of them are the elderly elderly and every dollar we increase for things that YOU want and they don't nor will not get anything out of it, takes a dollar out of their food budget or electric payment or other vital areas. So what do we tell them - get out of the Village because Elaineb and Dave and Ed and Don want it?
Do we find them a nice comfy spot under a highway overpass and tell them we are their angels but had to make way for an angel in the Village - wi fi!!!! Please, get a grip on reality, order your thoughts and values and you will see that we are right. Wi fi will be here - when it is done right, fully investigated and all questions asked and answered, then we can go ahead with it. Please, leave the ninnies and join the thinking future. We will be happy to welcome you to the winning side and the best hope for our Village.
Some of us would love to have WiFi. BUT NOT YET.
ReplyDeleteI have lots of friends that are interested in purchasing a condo in CV. They are coming here first and foremost because they have fiends here and the prices have gone down. So despite the fact that they are still working, they are willing to check the place out and use it as a vacation home.
Then they take the trip down to see what's available.
This first thing they will comment on is the maintenance and beautification. They will prefer an association that's well maintained and landscaped. They will definitely comment on the cleanliness of the place.
Next they will notice the roads, and if it's raining, the drainage.
WiFi hardly enters their mind.
Blanketing a large area with WiFi is a fairly new phenomenon. If we do something right now we can count on it that it will be cheaper and better in a year or two. We don't have to be the first kid on the block with the newest gadget. Why don't we let the others work out the kinks so that we can benefit from them? Do you remember how expensive flat screen TVs were when they first came out? They are cheaper and better now.
What we also have to realize is that we are going to need someone to constantly maintain our equipment. What's going to happen when the system will be down ...or possibly hacked? This will not be included in our $3 monthly charge.
We also have to realize that not all of us need the same amount of bandwidth. I for one would rather pay full price, rather than sit in front of a "slow" computer.
We will need WiFi....but not yet!
