What I will probably end up doing is disabling my wireless network until I want to surf the net from my laptop. Then I'll just reconnect it. It's kind of a pain, but I don't plan to surf the net from laptop very often. At least I hope I don't end up doing that. Now if I can just figure out how to connect my printers wirelessly I'll be happy.

I did end up buying a memory stick, and plan to transport files back and forth between my laptop and my pc that way. I'll have to see how tht works.

So I'm posting from my new laptop, which I just connected wirelessly to my other computer. I wasn't going to do that, but I didn't want to spend another $50 for a phoneline adapter. My wireless network is secure and I don't think anyone else can get in it. I can see other people's wireless networks, and some people do leave them open.

I'll probably end up buying a phoneline adapter because I'm not all that comfortable with connecting wirelessly to my other pc, but at least I did it. YEAH ME!

So I just contacted Dell and I can return my system and reorder a new system with my company discount, but I have to pay to ship the laptop back. And with all the shipping costs involved, I'll end up saving only $40 and I don't know about you, but saving $40 is so not worth the hassle of shipping the system back and reordering and waiting again.

Unless Dell gives even a bigger discount in the next 21 days, then I'll probably end up keeping the laptop I bought.

I'm bummed at myself. I didn't know my company had a program with Dell so employees could buy computers. So I tortured myself and priced the system I just bought, and if I had used the company discount I would have saved myself about $85.

I wonder if I can call Dell and let them know I didn't know about the company discount.
