I thought the world was coming to an end yesterday. I came home and my computer would no longer access the internet. Many people think they aren't addicted until they don't have it. If I was a drug addict, I would have had the shakes and done anything for a quick fix. I actually went to Mason's to use his computer and to hang out. I told him that I wasn't coming to use his computer, but I guess it was assumed that I eventually would need to. So then I called my local ISP, and they suggested that I "swap" modems with them. So today I went with my mom to get a new modem. They took the old one and let me keep the cat5 cable. I was so excited. I can use the extra one for something now. After finding out that it wasn't actually the modem, I called Mason's house to get the phone number for Linksys tech support. His dad and I joked saying that most likely I will be calling India. What would you know, I spoke to someone with an Southeast Asian accent. I then found out after two tech support specialist that I fried my network card in the storm yesterday. So I took Mason with me, and we went to Walmart and both Radio Shacks to find a new network card. Mason offered to give me one of his, but I decided to pass so that I could just have one of my own. Both Radio Shacks were closed by 830. I honestly hate that store. They are only open when I'm not home or when I need them. I always end up resorting to Walmart. I ended up buying some Linksys knockoff brand. All of the boxes there were sliced open and the plastic wrap was coming off. So we both weighed each box to make sure that they all included the same items. I chose the box that was the least damaged. It was a really tough decision though. I installed the new NIC and it works perfectly. XP detected it as a Linksys NIC. That made me proud. Well I have to catch up on all of the online stuff now. Cyah everyone.

What part of it did you not understand? Was it the technical terms or just general vocab? I am pretty sure that I don't have a very complex vocab to say the least.
