So we ordered a Dell laptop a couple weeks ago to replace Mariko’s aging desktop machine. The Dell factory is probably about a 10-15 minute drive from our house. For some silly reason, the computer has been shipped, but is up in Dallas being sorted, then it will be shipped back down here. Sheesh, I wish I could have driven to the factory and just picked it up…

Anyways, we got a wireless router and card for it, so Mariko should be able to login from anywhere in the house. We can finally get rid of our iMac that is downstairs, along with the super-long network cable that snakes down the stairway. Yay!
