Infomation on Computers & Internet

We finally decided to have the wireless home security system installed a couple weeks ago. It took us awhile to figure out whether we should do it or not but there have been some incidents in the neighborhood lately that have us wondering why we waited so long. My husband told me that he went to visit the lady who lives on the corner and she told him that someone tried to break into her house. We are very concerned about her. She's in her eighties and she lives alone. After hearing that story we both told her that she should get a wireless home security system. It took some convincing because she's very old-fashioned. The computers and the electronics are all new to her and, I think, a little intimidating. She still uses rotary phones! We go to visit her every other weekend and she is the nicest lady. If something happened to her I don't think we would be able to forgive ourselves. Anyways, after listening to my husband plead with her she finally decided to do it. When he came back that evening he told me everything and that got us talking very seriously about installing one for ourselves. We feel much safer now and we also feel like our efforts could help prevent something tragic from happening to our friend.
