thank goodness...

my wireless connection was screwing up again.. didn't know why.. so I just made a drastic move and pressed the reset button on the router even though I've absolutely no idea what that will do..
immediately after that i regretted my actions.. i couldn't even connect to it after that..
ah well.. with a little bit of effort and gumption, i managed to get it up and running.. which is why i'm able to even write this post now... so much time spent that i don't even remember what my original topic was about.. in any case, i'm attributing all that screw-up to the newly downloaded winxp sp2.. what the hell is wrong with MS? they keep introducing new improvements but there's a new screwup with every improvement they develop.. maybe we could return to the days of the good old (ok maybe not so good) win 3.1 where my comp works after i kick the cpu..

as my dad says, more functionality gives it more opportunity to screw up.. i can't agree more..
and while i take my time to recall my original topic, i shall post this first...
