Not hard to hook up a monitor.

1) Take cable for monitor that connects to computer. Examine end of cable.
2) Look at back of computer. There may be as many as 2 connectors it fits in: one with the main mess of connectors, and one on a card in a slot down lower. In that case, use the one that's on the card thing in the slot.
3) Plug in power.
4) Turn on monitor.
5) If Windows wants to install drivers when you start up, just press Next, Next, Next, Next, Next, Next, etc... and then Finish. This works in 98% of cases. Wherr.
6) If stuff looks bendy and weird, use panel buttons on monitor to unbend. Wherr.
7) Demonstrate your mad skillz to your family. Win a little more trust in computer-related manners.

Also, as for your internet stuff, that's either your firewall or your router blocking a port. This means that it's turning back data before it gets to Yahoo/etc due to it being paranoid. Rattle that back at your dad, he should probably be able to figure stuff out from there.

also, as for Drew thing, WHEEEEE! I = happy.

Monitors are for posers.

Wow, you're awesome! I love the Title of your Journal, for some reason if I read it one way it reminds me of an angry Japanese man and if I read it another way it reminds me of some drunk Texan.
