Well, the saga of the computer motherboard is over -- at least the decison-making part. All the parts for the resurrecting of my son's computer have been ordered, and will actually arrive today -- at which time, there will be a new chapter of the saga, the putting it together and seeing if it works chapter. My DH is a wonder when it comes to this kind of thing; he has no training in particular with computers, but he has learned a lot through reading and taking things apart. Sometimes learning is nothing more than not being afraid to take something apart and put it back together again to see how it works -- and that's what he does.
When he's done with all this, we should all have our own computer with DSL access to the internet -- my son's computer will be up and running again, which means I can have the laptop back. And since DH also ordered a wireless router and a wireless card for the laptop, we can now hook up Dear Son to the internet network, and get the laptop online as well. Goodbye dialup forever, hello me not having to grapple with DH and DS for the use of a computer.
We will just have to make sure we at least meet for meals during the day!
That's actually a danger we'll have to be aware of, but for now, I'm looking forward to being uninterrupted when I'm on the computer actually doing real work. Which does happen on occasion. ;-)
