Our friend came over last night to help us with various computer issues, including the issue of internet on our new Dell Media Center PC that I mentioned last post. Well, it turns out there's a very good reason I was having trouble connecting: somehow, it lacks an Ethernet adapter. Whether its simply missing it or whether something burned out we don't know, but tomorrow Dell is supposed to call us to let us know when they'll be able to come install a brand-new motherboard. Since we leave for Alaska on Sunday, go to San Fran 5 days later, and come back home after another 5 days, these issues might have to wait until then.

On a much higher note, computer-wise, I was able to connect the new Dell to our TV and play music & videos on both our TV and computer monitor simulataneously! Yippee!

Goodbye for now...
