*yay!* your all wireless and stuff: )

I would put all the blame on PCWorld if I was you I dislike them quite a lot really not that I have a problem with them other than the fact that there staff are mostly brainless and spotty!

Only you. This could only have happened to you. I want to copy this story and send it to all my friends cause it's great! They should film it and show it every Christmas. *giggle* Only you'd have to get naked with John for it to really take off as a hit!!

This is sadly more true than I wish it to be ..but something happens to electrical stuff as soon as it gets through my door *sigh*
P wants to go buy a new TV tomorrow ...I'll be cowering in the car !

My role would have to be played by Angelina Jolie obviously ...she doesn't mind getting naked, and we are after all , practically twins *snort*
