I was absent over the weekend because.....

Sometime between about 10 AM and 12 PM Saturday morning my internet at home went down. As of 4:30 AM this morning it's still down. I was assured by Embarq yesterday morning that I would be up and running by last evening....HAH!!

I couldn't get my SBG fix at all over the weekend and that sucked.

They'll be getting another call from me today............

Ha...we all got our fix this weekend.  What a way to spend the weekend.

Here is some interesting facts for you all..

Famously wrong predictions..

*     Computers in the future may weigh no more than 1.5 tons."
-- Popular Mechanics, forecasting the relentless march of science, 1949

*    "I think there is a world market for maybe five computers."
-- Thomas Watson, chairman of IBM, 1943

*     "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home."
-- Ken Olson, president, chairman and founder of Digital Equipment Corp., 1977

*     "But what ... is it good for?"
-- Engineer at the Advanced Computing Systems Division of IBM, 1968,commenting on the microchip.

The Internet is what makes computers so popular. Without the WWW not so popular.

OOOOH LAWD HAVE MERCY!!!!!   




Just kidding Mike, im right there with you. My hard drive died friday night on me with no warning in the middle of playing Fallout 3. I mean its DEAD dead. No coming back.

Heres to broken computers!   

Whoa, when the IT savey guys have problems, I don't feel so bad when I can't even figure out how to hook up to free Wi-Fi.  You guys made my day, I feel a lot better about my "life" on the computer. 

Death, Taxes, and computer problems my friend. No way out.   

Looks like my router went up........ If I disconnect from the router and connect my internet cable directly to the computer I'm back on line...... but of course no wireless connection to the laptop.

I have a Linksys router that is only 14 months old...... I can't believe that it went to Hell already.

Anyone have a suggestion for an inexpensive, reliable router?

That's pretty standard for Linksys from my experience.  I use Buffalo routers in my house.  I've had one for 4 years now and I've never had an issue.  http://www.buffalotech.com/products/wireless/

If it's inside of 5 years there should be a manufacturer's warranty on the sucker. What was the serial on it?

I checked it. It was a seagate drive that came with a dell machine.
