Sweet, sweet internet

I've just gotten back online after having to go 2 days without an internet connection here at home. I can't believe how much I was jonesing for it. I'd sit at my computer and just stare at it.
We had a power outage here the other day, which is normally not a HUGE deal, since they had it on an hour or so later. Th eproblem is that the power went out for about 1 minute or so, then pulsed on and off a few times. Somehow, my router got fried in all that.
I called Netgear, and they're replacing it, but I have to wait a few days. Luckily, a friend still had my old router and I was able to borrow it back until I get my replacement.
Due to the way our office here in the apartment is set up, the perfectly functional cable modem is right next to my fiance's computer. She plugged it directly in to the modem while I was at work, so hers was the only machine with an internet connection. I tried to use it, but it was just wierd. It was like hanging out in someone's house who you don't know very well. It's familiar, but everything's really different.

Guard thy comp as you would a pupil of your eye... There''s no place like your own comp.

Is this your finace''s computer?

I see what ya mean...

Will you do me the honor?

I wonder what honor that would be...

Oh, and did anyone notice the little bride under the hard drives?

I know what you mean Kriegshund. I can''t even take a vacation anymore without going through withdrawl for a few days. When my service goes down I almost cry.

No, her''s isn''t that girly. I built it, so it''s not very frilly. She did pick out a case based on what color it was though. I''m also putting in a red CCFL fan on the side, because she wanted one with color.
