Beam me up Scotty, I want out of here!

As my connection has been what I call a dead connection* for most of the day, my blogging has been lighter than usual. I apologize. For some reason, not being able to post has frazzled me beyond redemption. I am thinking of just calling it a day. Maybe I will dream up something really exciting for tomorrow.**

*dead connection: dialer shows I am connected but there is absolutely nothing being transferred over the line. Regrettably, my dialer on this system has been fragged since day one,*** and I have to reboot usually to get it to disconnect so that I can attempt a new connection. Try doing this about a million times a day. You really get tired of hearing that damn Windows has loaded sound.

**I usually do!

***It probably serves me right for buying a computer at Wal-Mart.

Don't think it's the Walmart PC so much as Windows. I have "always on" (haha) ADSL, a Netgear router, and a PC I built myself from hand-picked pesticide-free components, and sometimes I still have to reboot to get my internet connection to work. Grrrr!
