Well. Half of it. My parents bought the other half as my graduation present

Wait wait wait... Graduation present? Aren't you the same immature kid that came in here causing all kinds of issues like a week ago?

Congrats on surviving HS and the notebook.

Hehe yeah. Believe it or not that was almost 5 or 6 years ago if im counting right. I've grown up a bit since then

. It does feel like just yesterday though.

What you're really saying is, is that the membership here is Old. I mean some of us have had multiple kids and wives in that time span.. Damn.. I really feel old now...

I was worried about buying a wireless router but I couldnt find a linksys with 6 ports that was wireless :-/. However my next door neighbor happens to have a wireless cable connection and umm... long story short. I have internet right now

Congrats, man!

On the router:
My brother got the linksys wireless... wrtg whatever, and it does not live up to my d-link at home. We've had problems with it and firewalls... whereas my dlink one just works. (The family and I are house hunting... and we leave next Tuesday to go back to the desert.)

We've found some, but everything is so expensive now... wow.

I really like my Linksys, but I have to admit, it can be 'picky' at times, but overall has been very solid with my mixed network of devices. (tivo over broadband FTW.)

Asha - If you think houses are expensive now, you should have seen what they were 3-5 years ago.. We've lost almost $40,000 in value over the last 3 years in our house. And most of the depreciation has been in the last year or so. Look for foreclosed homes that you can put a little elbow grease into. You'll save a ton of money, and build equity quickly. There's a home across the street from us that sold for $212,000 4 years ago, and is now in foreclosure, and the bank is selling it for $74,900.

And it doesn't really need much other than new windows.

-Sorry about the hijack... Asha, start a new thread next time!
