Laptop Hell
Ok, so I just, finally, got my laptop working properly. I get up this morning, after reinstalling XP on it, again, last night, and find that my WIFI card is missing the drivers... aaaargh!!!! I search my computer stuff box, and no install cd. So, what do I have to do? Go around to stores and try to find a new card, because I obviously can't download the driver if I can't get on the internet... I finally find a reasonably priced card at Wal-Mart, $59 wireless G MIMO - (upper middle-class WIFI card), go to Borders, and find out that their extremely expensive T-Mobile Hotspot ($10/day, can you believe it?) is not working, no ETA for a fix, and the girl tells me to go to Starbucks!!!!! "Starbucks?!?!" I exclaim, "Are you joking? I hate that place!!!" Then the girl smiles, and tells me, "I like your reaction." :{ Knock me over with a sneeze, but I like this girl's spunk. Anyway, off to the public library I go, not expecting much, but lo and behold, I sign in, and it's better than my connection at home (which I am currently phishing from one or another of my neighbors)! 54Mbps!?!?! I only get 11 at home... I knew there was a reason I love the library. Anyway, smell ya'll laterz, gotsta bounze.
