Finally, finally...

Got our high-speed internet to work today. I don't know exactly what I did to get it to work, but it finally kicked in. Rob's connected thru my computer, so even though I can't 'see' his files & he can't 'see' mine, the network router is working. I can always fiddle w/the network settings at my own pace.
I was getting so incredibly frustrated, and I've just been so tired this past two weeks. I get to this point of exhaustion & I still try to work on things til I'm ready to cry, scream and break things. I need to make myself GO TO BED before I get to that point. Nothing has been working for me lately - I struggled to get my math class' ActiveX controls to kick in, I struggled w/the Java developer kit, it was a hassle just to get the freakin' Cox modem from FedEx. It was like the universe was anticipating Steve Irwin's death & started punishing me in advance for my nasty attitude. I don't care, though - I'm a bad karma magnet anyway and will probably come back in my next few lives as a cockroach.
We need to come up w/a short, easily spelled e-mail address for Rob to give to people, some kind of anonymous one. I'm just relieved I got this thing to do something right. Now that I have all this speed at my disposal I have no idea what to do - I guess I can download my first history movie.
Speaking of my history class - the instructor gave us a reading list. We have to pick a book & do a book report on it. My choice?
The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe.
The list he had was sorely lacking in anything by or about turn-of-the-century Native Americans, but once I saw Acid Test on there, I decided not to rock the boat.
