Computer still wonky, Matt Good still awesome
I've got landline connectivity now, hurrah. And all it took me was the complete reformatting of my system, which caused me to *%@(! lose Microsoft Office. The one program I didn't think I needed to back up (not that I'm even sure I could have, but...I thought it was on my installation software CDs! GAAAH!) It came with the computer but I have no CD for it. WHYYYYY?
*sigh*
Still working on getting wireless to work. I may just give up and call Comcast back here tomorrow, because, despite having an IP address now, I still have "limited or no connectivity" for absolutely no good reason. *grumble*
