So this is the completion of the last entry, where I was about to go over to Brian’s house. Well we went to CompUSA and picked up a great deal on a wireless card for my new laptop and a wireless router by SMC. I went with SMC because of price, reviews, and Brian’s recommendation. The card was only $59 and the wireless router after rebates will be $69. We also went to DIT, which is the local computer store chain. Slim pickings there but they do have a nice case or two!
As part of my sisters birthday present we went and saw the Cats. Very disappointing. She loved it though so that was great. I had seen it before in London, and although not my favorite musical it was entertaining. I felt like this version left parts of the story out. It didn’t seem to flow as well.
Anyway back to the issue at hand. So I currently I should be writing this entry wirelessly on my laptop. That isn’t the case. After what should be a “3 click set-up” and 20 minutes I called Brian for a hand. After another hour ont he phone with him, he had deducted that the router more than likely has a non-functional WAN port.
So it looks like I am going in for a swap tomorrow. Joy of joys. Aren’t I the lucky one!
Anyway when the wireless works I will be able to be on the ball wherever I am in the house, and for that matter at any of the restaurants and cafes in the local strip of shops!
