YAY I have a laptop!... I just can't get it connected to our home DSL
So today I woke up and went to IHOP. I actually ate out for breakfast. With this whole new "I'm not taking my medicine" bout I've been on, I can now tolerate breakfast because I don't wake up feeling sick or unable to handle breakfast - AND I'm hungry! It makes no sense, but I feel better so I'm going with it. Mom and I went to Best Buy where the price of our fridge was $40 more than we had anticipated. Because of a week old sale and online print out, the lady pretended like it was a Circuit City price and "matched" it for us. Good deal! From there we went to Wal-Mart where there was a newly added instruction sign for the Icee machine that I violated 3 nights ago and caused mass chaos and announcements all over the front end of the store telling customers "No more Icees!". We got a shower basket, shampoos, body washes, toothbrush, deodorant, shelves, food, pop, etc. and now I'm set for college. I just have to pack my clothes. Half way through our shopping day, I got a call from my dad telling me a box from Dell had arrived! YAY! I came home and spent about 4 hours transferring files from our two other computers to the new one. I've played some .wmv videos and the color is all messed up and also that I can't get it connected to the internet. I called SBC, talked to a camel jockey, and he told me it was my router and not SBC (well obviously). He cannot help me make a connection, but can refer me to Linksys (the router) and they will kindly help me for $19 (the usual bill of a call to them). Um... no thank you sir, many thanks, ride off into the sunset. I'm sitting at home here trying to figure out this expensive contraption and I just can't seem to get that internet rolling. Shucks... Jeff...?
