Half Fixed

Our modem was gone after a heavy rain with lightning and thunder last Friday. I came home wondering why the power were cut off and then can't get hook online. This round I refrain from fixing it. The last time I took out the connections and then it seems impossible to put those zillion of wire under the table back together right.

Dear came back and after a long time of trying and of course a long conversation with the Streamyx staff, he concluded that the modem is faulty. I thought fixing a new one would be as easy as connecting a few wire to the computer. Sadly is was not the case, the job require more than just connecting those wires ....

Dear ended up spending the whole afternoon in the room, talking to some people on phone trobleshooting. Not only that, I also heard him talking to himself many times.
Thank goodness that it is finally half fixed. At least the PC is working now. And looks like we need to find some cheap monitor to replace this current one that my brother bought for me 10 years + ago. The screen will turn all black and have to bang on it a bit to get the screen back. Its quite frustrating :(

What not fixed yet ??? The connection is only working for the PC and not dear's precious apple. Oopps .. What is the problem ?? No. 1 The router is spoiled too. No.2 THE APPLE ??. Arrrr !!!! Apple stuff is sooooo $$$$$$$ !!! I wonder whether dear start to regret. Now he has to wait till next month to get it fix.
