My old desktop which I built myself over 4 years ago wouldn't connect to the internet on Thursday. At first I thought it was the router, so I just connected directly with the modem...nothing. Then I tried it with my laptop and it worked. Hmmm. It was like my desktop wouldn't let the modem acquire an IP address no matter what I tried.
So naturally I ran out and bought another desktop. :P Got it on sale and bundled with a huge 23" wide screen monitor. I'm not used to such a large screen and such a quiet desktop but I can deal (what a chore!) ;). My old machine sounded like a jet engine taking off.
Now I've got to install all my software and move my files and stuff. Amazing how much stuff you can accumulate in 4 years. o_O
