Update State of Me

[lurkerwithout]

Got the old computer basically working again and even salvaged most of my stuff (old writing, art, cat pictures, etc). But I can't get the computer to acknowledge my wireless receiver thingy from any port. Extra aggravating since I found I'd saved the drivers for it on a flash drive from the last time I had to reload everything. So for now to use the computer online involves having it hooked directly into the modem by a short cord. So its in the living room. And using it from the couch gives me such a crick in the neck. So while I could just go and get another wireless thinger for like thirty bucks, I don't trust the longevity of my current PC. So I'll probably be splitting the tax return between a new computer and the cat's yearly vet visit...
