The problem disappears when I connect -- using the same Ethernet cable -- directly into the high speed modem; then, loading speeds are quick as a flash. When I go back to the router with a wired connection, same again -- very very very slow page uploads.
Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy. Born out of wedlock, the love child of a respected notary and a young peasant woman, he was raised by his father, Ser Piero, and his stepmothers. At the age of 14, da Vinci began apprenticing with the artist Verrocchio.
At age 17, Leonardo and his father moved to Florence, where he apprenticed to Verrocchio. His brilliance soon eclipsed that of his master. In 1472, Leonardo became a member of the painter's guild of Florence, where he had contact with other great Florentine artists including Michelangelo Buonarroti. In 1481, Leonardo left Florence for Milan to offer his service to the local Duke.
