Stupid Computers!
Jan. 8th, 2008 09:16 pmOk, maybe not computers, but Vista and modems and technical stuff! My internet went out today around noon, and I figured one of the cats knocked my wireless connection off. I've only had it up for about three days, so I'm totally ignorant of how this works. Then I couldn't get it to connect again. I called the cable company and they had me hook up my modem to the computer directly, which means about ten feet of cable running through my apartment....again.
Sigh.
So I have my internet again, just not my wireless, because for some reason the computer is no longer recognizing it. My brother is coming over tomorrow to look at it, so I figure I'm going to swallow my pride and pay him the 30 dollars he wanted before Christmas, since he knows a hell of a lot more about computers than I do. Good grief.
Anyway, I really think it's because of Vista that this is acting up now. Grrrr. If I wasn't so dependent on the internet for, you know, a social life, I would totally chuck the operating system out the window.
