Getting Situated In Raleighwood


A couple of years ago I tried to set up a wireless network at the beach between my brother's PC and my Mac but it just wasn't happening. If there was a way for it to work I couldn't figure it out, especially after spending countless hours on the phone with Tech Support and trying various products they assured me would "do the trick". Fast forward to the summer of 2008 and my arrival in Raleigh. The cats I'm living with have a wireless network already set up so it was just a matter of purchasing a wireless adapter from the nearest electronics behemoth. Immediately upon installation the network showed up on my computer but I was unable to launch my web browser. After using the OS X internet setup assistant I saw my iGoogle theme suddenly appear in the background. I'm not sure what I did but whatever it was, I am now connected to the innerwebz. Now, if I can just keep my roommates from setting my homepage to one of the many feline related websites out there...
