My Laptop died

How were you using your laptop to connect them? Was it functioning as a hub or as a router?

Seems to me like getting a couple of long Ethernet cables would be a cheap solution.

This is why you don't bring your laptop into the bathtub to watch gay porn.

Hub.

There are no cables long enough to run downstairs unless I make them myself (not even sure I remember exactly how to do that too much either), and I'm not allowed to drill a hole in the floor which was my suggested solution. Hehe. So a wireless card was my cheapest solution. Well either that or buying one of those cute little mini-laptops, unfortunately that will have to wait if I want to finish school haha, and I almost did it thinking about how much I used my laptop in my coding classes, but realized that 1 GB of ram and shitty specs wouldn't be good for compilers. :s

In before the gay porn joke.



Edit: rats.

Oh and to explain what happened to my laptop:

For a long time the case that housed the monitor, or screen or whatev the fuck it's called on a laptop, was cracking on the sides that were joined together to house it.

Well basically I picked it up, closed, but the top half of the screen casing tumbled to the floor along with the screen, then this other part of the casing fell off and allowed the innards of the laptop itself to come crashing onto the floor.

So I don't know that much about laptops on the inside, but I'm hoping I can at least find the harddrive later, and hook it up inside my desktop, and save dem files. Specifically the music files because I really don't want to go through more trouble than they're worth. I would take them all off my ipod, but appears I cannot do that again because I've already done it 5 times or some gay bullshit?

Also a lot of my photos weren't on facebook, and those that were, well they're all tiny and not in their 12 megapixel goodness. That's no fun!
