I got this today from Goodwill. I have no idea why they would carry this...? Who would have donated this? It was $1.99.

Also @mariushm I was not being that detailed in my OP. Technically my Ethernet cable runs to my router which has a built in modem and that modem uses coaxial cable to talk with the sidewalk box which then uses a proprietary copper connection to reach a splitter box outside the neighborhood where from that point on it uses more copper (not sure if that part is also a proprietary connection or not) and it doesn't connect to fiber until it reaches my local ISP's office about 8 miles away. The entire connection from here to there is copper with repeaters. My IT guy from my ISP explained to me that one of the benefits of their proprietary and unique copper connection was that it required less amplification. I don't know why or how, or how far apart repeaters usually are or if 8 miles is a reasonable distance I just know that's what he told me when I asked him. I'm a very curious person. ?

Then fiber included most internet connections from a major metropolitan area to another major metropolitan area are entirely physically connected? Assuming my email from Los Vegas to Hustan isn't routed through a line of sight connection in small town Sedona AZ for some strange reason?

If I plug an Ethernet cable into my computer that plugs into my router which plugs into my modem which plugs into a box in the sidewalk which plugs into a bigger box just outside my neighborhood. Up until that neighborhood box the entire connection is physically attached without any wifi or satellite. Undersea cables can connect me overseas but some routes use satellite instead. To keep this simple let's only talk about domestic internet connections. Does this physical connection run all the way to the server and back? If I had the magical power to make anything I touch disappear and I tocuhed my LAN connected computer would said magical power be able to reach the servers? How much of the internet is physically attached to my home network before being transmitted over some wireless network? Would a typical website like Google be 100% wired if my end was not WiFi or 4G? Could an engineer at Google touch a server while I touch my computer and us both be technically "touching" the same thing? A single physically connected network without any wireless breaks in the middle? I know these questions seem stupid but I really want to know! Please comment your thoughts.

That's a lot to take in. I understand this isn't something I can do easily but I will research all of these points. Thank you! You really know what you're doing. I hope I can learn this too.

I could do that I guess.

I think they look cool!

1) I think so? 2) 40' 3) I have literally no idea. 4) What's that? 4) I hope not much. Maybe $40/month? I won't even move it every month. 6) I think so? 7) No. 8) No comment. Kidding, no I haven't.

Where did he keep it?

I don't think it's an eye sore...

Yes you can. EDIT: That's fine there's nothing wrong with it. I misread.

I hope not! I saw that there was a cached version of the website available but it seemed every link I clicked wasn't cached. What's the point of caching just the home page?

It's actually funny you mention that now that I think about it I lost a reply I was writing on my school bus thread.

I know that feeling. It really sucks when you spend a long time writing something just to lose it.

I'd say the same thing. About 30 minutes give or take.

I don't know if it was down for everyone globally but I can confirm it was down for me.

Thank you Buses go for $1,000 to $4,000 when they're in reasonable used shape but someone I met online got a huge 50'er for $750 in great shape. They really don't hold their value at all.

The one I have my eye on is 40' and biodiesel

What if I kept it parked accoss the street, and only drove it occasionally? Maybe a few hundred miles a year?

I've always liked large vehicles. As a kid I disliked the hot wheels buses because they weren't to scale. My mom would buy me the diecast school buses separately. But I can see this is probably just a pipe dream.

I said I can keep it on my street. There is a lot of space and some of my neighbors have RVs parked so it would be so out of place. I would not have passengers. Not paying ones at least.
