I’m in a bliss full state of computer happiness.
So as I've said before that the one thing that didn't work on my computer, that I had given up hope was my router. In my household we run up to 3 computers at any given time, so a router is really helpful, and living without it was a little hellish. So you could say that my evil computer was creating a world of hell for me.

Well on the advise of Zexos, well more of a suggestion I went to a local big box crazy large everything on the shelf computer, office, toy, pencil, selling machine of a store and took advantage of one of their great deals. So now for less than I could get on e-bay I got me a new router with wireless something or other. Not going to use the wireless stuff, but I figure the radiation or whatever it produces will give me cancer soon anyways and I could always use that lawsuit dough.



The worst part about this little gem was as most things do with me, it didn't work. Between two of us we went through just about every type of trouble shooting craziness that was available to us. We fought, we cried, and I lost a little blood. It didn't take much time to realize that the problem was not in the computers, not in our new, and very inexpensive router, but in a cable.



My computer has become so evil that it now corrupts even the defenseless cables. Think of the poor cables sitting on the floor minding their own business, and all of a sudden Mr. Computer comes along and bullies him to screw things up for me. The unfortunate part of this story is when a cable goes bad the only thing you can do is gut it. Weep my friends, weep for the innocent cables, the ones corrupted by horrible computers like mine. Don't turn away, the horror is too true.



Needless to say everything is working great, thanks for asking!

I have a couple of serious questions regarding your post.

1. When a cable breaks like that, couldn't you in theory strip it and make a new one? hahaha. strip.

2. "at least 3 computers at any given time" - How many computers do you guys need? Are you running some sort of Internet cafe? Are there immigrants living in your closet? Do you sit on some sort of swivel chair and just spin from computer to computer? Are you guys throwing out computers out after each use? Are you working on some sort of secret mission for the RCMP? What the hell is going on there? More than 3 computers. You guys are just greedy.

1. When a cable goes bad and sends you off into a rage the only thing you can do is destroy it.

2. We enjoy the benefits of have a fresh computer for every use. Anything else is unsanitary; it would be like re-using a tissue.
