I'm Back!

Well after a week and a half of using an on-screen keyboard, I've finally got a working computer. Kind of.

Let's backtrack for a second. My main computer I use is a Toshiba laptop. My parents gave me that computer for my birthday last February. I've never had any problems with that computer and thought very highly of the Toshiba brand. That was until January 1, 2010.

I was commenting over at California Golden Blogs during the Rose Bowl. Then all of a sudden my keyboard went hay wire. And ever since my life has been a living hell with computers and Internet connections.

That Saturday I took my laptop over to the Geek Squad over at Best Buy. They new exactly was was wrong but said I had to call Toshiba to get a new keyboard. Why they couldn't talk to the Toshiba plant is beyond me, but I went back home and called Toshiba. Only one problem though, it was the weekend so nobody is working.

Now at this same time I could still use the Internet on my original computer. I just couldn't use the keyboard. I could though use an on-screen keyboard. So I had to use my mouse to use the on-screen keyboard. The problem with using a keyboard like that though is that it takes forever to type something. So I was barely existent on my own live blog and open threads.

By the following Monday I called Toshiba and ordered the part. The computer was on warranty, so it wouldn't cost me anything. But they said it would take anywhere from 2-6 weeks to ship to me. Fine, I still had the ability to use my original computer, but I was in need of a backup.

My parents have an i Mac that a friend gave to them three years ago that they have never used. So last Friday I went to my parents house and picked up that computer. I used the Toshiba and the on-screen keyboard for the rest of the weekend.

On Monday was when my hell begun. I called Comcast, my cable and Internet provider, to hook up the Internet for the i Mac. Only one problem though, the Internet was hooked up to the computer but there was no web browser. They told me I had to call the Apple people to fix that problem. By this point I was so frustrated, that I put this off until today.

So today I called the Apple people and told them about the problem with the web browser. Since this computer is over 3 years old, but has barely been used, I had to update everything. This took basically the entire day to update everything.

And now here I am. I do sincerely apologize for not posting more material, but computer problems can be a real bitch sometimes. I'll be tomorrow with The Links and reaction to the Lane Kiffin hiring at USC.

GOOD NIGHT NOW!
