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!
