It took over a month but I am back now. *My darn computer got struck by lightning not once but twice in 3 days. *Fried the modem and I finally got a new one installed today.

man why so long for a fried modem???

I was real lazy about. *It ticked me off when it happened so I didn't think about the thing for a couple weeks.

Mine got struck the weekend after the 4th of JUly, fried the modem and motherboard, and I just got it up again last week. *Had to wait for a check from the insurance company, then explore the options, order/wait for parts, get it all together, it all takes time. *But it was worth it, because I upgraded the heck out of it and now it really kicks butt!
