LOL! I tried to get my own internet connection and failed. My parents don't ever go online, except for on Ebay. Well, my brother is hooked on EverQuest. He plays that game 24/7. I'm not kidding you, he leaves it on to sell stuff when he sleeps. That means that if I want to use the internet I get to wait like 10mins to load a page. Enter new laptop. Mwhahaha. My laptop rocks! It will swipe anyone's wireless bandwith! Even if my dumb brother is hardwired, my wireless will take all the bandwith even if I'm not even on the internet. Take that brother!! Anyways, good luck with getting your own internet connection.
My parents shouldn't mess with our computer either. They won't ever touch my laptop. My mom got into the Add/Remove programs once, and didn't know what she was doing. x.x Parents.

Posted by J00kst3r at November 10, 2005 03:32 PMMy mom is technology impared. She doesn't even try to fix things. Hell, she freaked out when she first saw a pop up ad and didn't know how to get rid of it. Ha ha! It's a running joke between us that her inability to cope with technology evens out my inability to cook--so we're even. LMAO!
My dad is pretty good at fixing things, but he has to research it to the 'nth degree and that drives me friggen nuts. And even if you tell him you know how to fix it, he won't listen to you because...well, I guess he's smarter than everybody or something. *laughs* Usually I don't even bother anymore.
I suppose it's just one of those things I'll have to deal with. Moving out again isn't an option right now (too poor), and honestly, it's not *that* big of a deal. It's just annoying. I just try to see the comedy in it--that's about all a person can do!
