Computers are like men

At first sight so easy to handle, and the more you get into them the more difficult they get. Hang on, that only applies for computers. Men I think are the other way around. Never mind. That's for discussion another time.

So got a computer wizard over this evening to sort out the uncooperative router. Turned out I'm not so stupid after all. The modem I have (only 3 years old for chrissakes, shouldn't it still work?) is not compatible to the router. What a surprise.

He managed to get me online though through the cable, and installed the security thingie, the Microsoft package (did you know that the home/student-pack doesn't look anything like the standard package? Different toolbar and everything. Nobody told me this!). And more importantly, the online messenger tool plus the player to the website where I can watch Dr House for free. Excellent!

However, I'm still blogging from my old computer. It'll take some time to get used to new features and navigation tools. Yeah, yeah, old dogs and all that, but I tell you what. My old mouse feels just like that after trying out the new one. So I'll get used to it. Eventually...
