In the last week we have acquired two new computers, two new printers, two new cell phones, and changed from DirectTV to Dish Network on two televisions.
If you are considering a low-end Dell (for a student, whatever) I have found that they do not work and play well with some LinkSys wireless adapters. I spent 6 hours on the phone with "Bob" (how many Bobs are there in Bombay, anyway) and two on the phone with Chuck, trying to get the S.O.B. working. Never did - went to Walmart, bought a Belkin USB wireless port, and it's working fine.
Now my old Compaq has "lost" contact with the CD & DVD drives.
I want a fucking week where I deal nothing more high-tech than a fucking rock.
