I rock!

I bought the new router.  It arrived yesterday and is a great little thingee.  Only problem was i didn't have a PCI adapter on my PC.  WTF??  i want my internet back!  So, instead of coming straight home from work tonight, I detoured to Best Buy where one like myself can wander around in awe for several days....but I didn't.  Instead, this very nice young man said "can I help you?" and YES, you certainly can!  I told him what I needed and, after a good bit of discussion, I decided, yes, indeed, this was it.  He said hesitantly..."it has to be installed".  What?  You just look at me and think I am a helpless female and am willing to pay big bucks to install this little aparatus?  NOT!  I paid for it, skipped out to my car humming "you ain't seen nothin yet" and drove home like the maniac I am.  Supper was waiting for me (sorta) so I couldn't dive into my little job until a little later.  Ahhhhhh, no instructions to speak of.  OK.  I mention to hubby that I am not sure how to open the computer and he tried to help.  OMFG!  Get out of my space, helpless male!!!  Well, he was helpful in that he found me a very small screwdriver I could use.  Nice.  With just a little effort, I found the way to open up the back, set the adapter in place, screwed everything back the way it belonged, and, wow!!!!!  I didn't even break anything.  I installed the adapter, then I installed the router.  I am good to go!  Well, it's late, so I will set up the network tomorrow.  I ROCK!!!  w00t!
