I'm BAAAACK!! :-)

[Guest guest]

Well, after a week and a half of not being able to work, I'm finally back

online. My ethernet card died in my work machine and it's integrated, so not

upgradable. Since I have to send the machine back to Tennessee to be fixed and

am not going to receive a machine to replace it unless I want to rent it or put

a huge deposit on it, I decided to just use one of our old PCs and load

everything and anything on it. Dummy me, got a little delete-happy and

accidentally deleted a Windows 95 file off the old PC (that I was going to load

onto) and ended up having to reformat the hard drive and install Windows 98.

Then, since I'm not terribly familiar with all the work stuff that needs to be

loaded in order for everything to work correctly and correspond with each other,

that took forever and a day and about a gazillion phone calls to the company. I

can now breathe a sigh of relief. It seems that I have everything loaded

correctly and it all seems (SEEMS!!) to be in working order. However, I am not

sending back the work machine until I'm 150% sure. :-)

Anyway, after fiddling around with the internet settings and struggling to get

those set right (hubby and I are networked with cable modem), I am finally back

online.

TAKE YOUR BEST SHOT, PEOPLE!! I'M FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!! hehehe
