charliesmumSo Tuesday evening I was trying to get to Target to see about getting a DSL modem thing for my computer so I can get my home phone and home computer internet access working, and my car started overheating. Again. So I took it to the mechanics, who kept it,and promised to have it fixed for me by Noon, Wednesday. So I stayed home and waited, and waited and waited and it was finally done by 4pm. Hopefully fixed.
The upshot of this was I was away from a working computer for 24 hours. Ack! And several times during the day I thought of things i wanted to post, and couldn't. It was quite distressing.
I still haven't gotten the DSL thing, and if anyone who is smart about computers and can also dumb it down enough to explain it to me, can you tell me what I should be asking for? Are all DSL modoms the same, or do I have to make sure I have the make and model of my computer handy? It is a box? A wire? An imp? What? Help.
Hope everyone had a decent day yesterday and I'm going to try to catch up on the posts I missed. You know, in between doing actual work.
Sigh.
