it's 3 am

and that's just how i do things.

today I learned that computers are horrible.  well, i've actually known this for quite some time.  but this week was different.  i spent well over 10 hours simply reading FORUMS on how to install a new hard drive, then make it a bootable disk, then figure out the difference between IDE and SATA, then figure out why usb 3.0 ports only read 2.0 plugs, then spend 5 hours decoding a wireless issue which included a full hour of live-chatting (not the fun kind) some Almost Human (you're welcome, Fox) named Gretel (I'll bet) only to have her tell me that my router doesn't even qualify for complimentary assistance, so if I wanted any actual help, I'd now have to pay her $29.95.  (one more parentheses for good measure)

All said and done, I FINALLY found that my driver was outdated.  Found the info, found the website, found the update- bingo.  Internet.

And that's what I learned.  If you ever see that red x of death next to your network, just call me.  I can tell you 1,000 things that won't work.

And one that can.
