Computers Hate Me

I'm not having any luck with computers. As previously noted, my home laptop had to be sent miles away for warranty repairs and it looks like that could take a few weeks. So I ordered one of those cool Asus Eee computers. Imagine my utter dissapointment when right out of the box this little replacement computer would not connect to any wireless internet connections. In the few hours I've had this little machine I learned that this is a common problem never mentioned in the glowing reviews I read. Right now I'm connected via the ethernet cord, but what fun is that? I guess I'll send this one back tomorrow. (sigh)
