First, thank you to everyone who checked on me, I really appreciate it.
Shortly after the announcement of Covid-19 lock-downs in March we were told to work from home, in a secondary collapse of personal freedom, all company equipment was locked-down from many sites considered to be potential "wasters of company time"
I appealed, but was denied use of electronic company equipment for many sites including NCWW...
So, I used my personal laptop, but that was a pain switching between the two machines and then in an unfortunate incident, my personal laptop stopped working! I spoke with someone and learned it was not worth repairing the old machine and in the "uncertain times" we were dealing with, I was not comfortable going out getting a new one. The next step in the loss of personal freedom was the establishment of a cybersecurity division at work, they decided to further "lock-down" access to social media websites so that an employee is not able to post!
I learned a friend of mine had purchased a tablet and was able to access some of his NFL and college football sights by logging on via a "back-door" (our guest web access)!
I got an amazon fire tablet and with this work-around am excited to be back on our GREAT forum!
