Re: Computer help
It's not for everyone, but I like factory refurbished models. At least one company(Fujitsu), sells theirs on ebay. My laptop was originally priced at almost $2k, but I got it for less than $750 after a few tries. You're on your own after 90 days, so I wouldn't recommend it for those that rely on tech support.
I'll also second newegg.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

Re: Computer help
Just making sure, but does your laptop have a button somewhere on the top, front or sides that turns wifi on/off? For example, some HPs have a button next to the power button above the keyboard. If it's blue, wifi is on; if it's red/orange, wifi is off. On other HPs, it's part of a strip that runs along the top of the chassis. Again, blue=on, red=off.

Re: Computer help
Okay, this is weird. The only website I can connect to is Bisonville. I can't even connect to Google. It's looking like a DNS error. Are there any other Cableone customers having internet problems tonight?

Re: Computer help
Well, eventually I lost Bisonville too. I tried to call Cableone, but the line was busy. At that point I figured I wasn't the only one having problems. A little bit of Sunday Night Football plus Lego Harry Potter to kill some time and their DNS server was back up and running when I got back.

Re: Computer help
I am having the same issues. Cableone's 1-877 number and 0033 numbers are not working. But I can only get bisonville.
They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time it works, every time.
