VISTA / XP PC comes back from PC Club
This evening after work, I drove to PC Club to pick up a network card for Claudia's old PC. While I was there, Abdul stated to me that if I was willing to wait for a little bit, he would go ahead and finish up my computer also.
So, I waited around and eventually paid $77 for the install of a CPU fan and an IDE cable and paid Abdul $20 for the fan itself (one that he brought from his car).
POS PC rejects the Wireless NIC card
I also paid $25.00 for a wireless nic for Claudia's ancient (Pentium 166Mhz, 80 MB of RAM with a 4GB hard drive) computer.
Predictably, as soon as I installed the card in the one free PCI slot in this dinosaur, the PC refused to boot. I tried another PCI slot with the same refuse to boot result.
So, it looks like I will be relegated to copying her docs off of that PC via floppy diskettes. God, what kinda shit is this? 2008 andI am SNEAKERNETTING documents from a computer via freaking floppy diskettes?
OMG, the 90's called and they want their old school network back.
Ugh.
