The Wireless Adventure

I bought my first laptop from a friend of my friend, Kristy. For only $200 I got a "new to me" dell laptop. But it came with no O/S or anything. Just the machine and the power cord.

I brought it home on Tuesday evening (3 days ago) and promptly went to BestBuy to buy an O/S and wireless stuff.

Many hours and about $400 more, I now have a laptop with XP loaded that connects to the Internet wirelessly through the router connected to my cable modem (I crashed the desktop 3 times trying to get the router configured - and still be able to use AOL, etc. I was up until 3:30AM 2 nights ago and 1AM last night waiting for software to install, etc. O.K. so I've been a little maniac about it.) And I bought a cool wireless mouse... I just have the stupid power cord to deal with! Let the good times roll.
