COMPUTER MELTDOWN

Brian and I have been having a computer meltdown. On tuesday this week out monitor decided to call it quits. We tried everything in hopes that it would come back up but with no luck. On wednesday, I went to best buy and got a cheap monitor (after being told there was no hope for our other one) and took it home and hooked it up to the computer. Then it seemed that the computer decided to have a problem as well and would not boot up. At this point I was very frustrated and feeling disconnected without my internet. Also, this happened to be the one week Brian needed the computer to do an assignment for school. Ugh! Luckily, on monday, I had arranged to pick up a free computer from someone on craigslist...not knowing mine would be crashing. We brought home that computer wed. night but could not get the internet up and running. Now after an hour and a half on the phone with the internet help people I finally have a connection. Much slower than what I'm used to, but hey a connection is better than no connection. RIGHT?
