In a Tangle

Just spent the last week, fretting, fussing, cursing, scheming, doing everything I could think of to get my computer to work online, including several trips to Staples, threatening to buy a new computer, and using other people's computers. 

Today, after spending 4 hours with a technician and about $500 for new hardware (a more powerful antenna, modem and router) I am once again online. For now! Hopefully I can think of something to say!

What did you buy?!

A new linksys router, a new navini modem, an antenna to pick up a better signal, and an hour of tech time to trouble shoot and install antenna.

Don't you just take the modem back to your ISP and they'll give you a new one? You know SF has a good Linksys router somewhere. ;) I probably do too.

Hope everything's working though.

Oh yeah! You're probably right about the router. Your uncle believes in having backups :>)
