Well, the old computer just wasn't able to handle the new router. My poor old 9 yr old computer just couldn't take the newer/faster/stronger router and would keep kicking me off. I am now using the OTHER roomie's desktop machine, that is at LEAST 2 yrs old, and a referb of an Dell until we can afford to get a machine of my own. I'm also using a new monitor because the old monitor wasn't able to deal with the newer machine - and this guy is also a loaner this time from our geek.
So, the only things that are the same is the keyboard and the mouse - oh, and the same old user....
The roomie's trying to tempt me with Torchwood, but I want to get back on here for a while since its been so long since I could honestly respond to ANYTHING!
So, I'm BACK!!! and I guess I'll be able to make payout this month because now I can mylot AGAIN!
and I missed out on the whole glitch of mylot's payment stuff - so I'm happy to have missed this weekend anyway!
Love you guys!!! thanks for all the concern, that's why I'm posting a whole "discussion" to let you know what was wrong and how I'm back!

well, I went thru and got rid of everything I knew I wasn't going to respond to, that still left 60 to look at again.
Right now I have about 55, but that includes what's come in to day that I haven't sorted out - I have one "friend" that I'm just deleting his unopened, because if he does post something I might respond to, I'll see it another way.

Still sounds bizarre, LoL... Assuming only USB 1.1 on your old PC, you would've connected at 11Mbps to the old 54Mbps wireless... Even though your new router supports 300Mbps WiFi, it should still be backwards compatible with IEEE 802.11b and 802.11g (11Mbps and 54Mbps...) Also, if the new WiFi dongle is USB 1.1 compatible, it'll allow you to connect at 11Mbps... Bizarre... ^_^

Hurray! So Elic's back and can start posting and answering once more.. Ha..
I heard Dell's a good brand and can last long. If anything, having a notebook computer is just so awesome. The lighter, the better.
But there will be lesser memory too. But as long as there's enough for mylot discussions should be cool.

Well, I am glad that you are here once again. I guess you have missed some things but not that many. Mylot is here and we are still here. I am happy indeed to have read your post once again, so here I am, responding to your post.

I"m just impressed you got one to last 9 yrs! Mine usually only last 2-3yrs before I need a new model where hubby can't upgrade me any further.

9 year old computer? Perhaps there's a place for it in the ancient history museum?

HI {{Elic}} Welcome back!
I know what you mean about the troubles with computers and such, since going back to dial
up I am using my 10 year + machine and I think its just on deaths door even though its
had a years rest while I was using this other one when I had DSL...this old relic is
not set up for DSL but it just does not function like it used too...(sigh)!
So like you I've got pieces and parts inter mixed and so long as I get on for awhile
some during the day I guess I'll just have to deal with it...I hate it...
I wish someone would drop a big ton of money down on your head and mine so we could
get the machines we want and need...LOL!!
Wishful thinking I know...(sigh)!!

It’s good to see you back ElicBxn! I have only been here on and off during the weekend and I too have missed most of the drama! I didn’t even notice that the earnings had not been updated because I thought I just had not been paid due to inactivity!
Ahh! The joys of computer ownership! Hope you get used to the new equipment and look forward to your posts!
Happy MyLotting!

Congratulations! I am finally getting caught up on all of my emails. Had some connection problems over the past few weeks and email notifications were out of control! I'm talking into the hundreds!

I'm glad you're back!! 
Didn't expect you back for a week at least and am glad it wasn't that long! As for payout, I didn't quite make it this month thanks to being depressed but that's ok, I should next month since I'm only pennies away now. 
Oh such is life, huh? lol I'm doing better though, just taking it day by day. Wednesday will be a REAL upper for me and Oreo for we're meeting for the first time and we're going to the aquarium in Atlanta!! 
It'll be so nice to put a face to a wonderful friend!! Anyway, glad to have you back so soon!

Thanks for the wonderful welcome back! I'm jealous that you and Oreo are getting to meet! Never been to the aquarium in Atlanta (in fact, only ever landed in a plane in Atlanta) but I've been to the ones in Chattanooga and New Orleans (long before the hurricane.

[b]See, now this is what you get when you're foolish enough to breathe the fact that you paid $600 on getting another cat de-toothed today around your computer. It's like you should never mention you got a bonus check anywhere near your car or fridge or roof. One or all of them may pick THAT MOMENT to throw a rod, dump all the freon, or spring a mighty leak--precisely over the new couch you just bought & were silly enough to mention under that roof.
And don't think for one second they won't. It's a plot. They're all in it thicker than thieves. Like swarms of black helicopters. 
That's my theory, anyway, & I'm sticking to it....

"You know I don't speak "geek" I had the more geekie roommate sitting next to me telling me what I had relayed to the earlier poster!"
[b]Oh, I dunno about that.... You kept your secret of being a sports fan secret from me for years, you sneaky thang you! So I can easily imagine you've been huddling with the geek squad all this time in some windowless basement, learning the esoterica of Gique.
Next thing you know, I'll discover you've been going to gamer cons on the sly, & holing up with the palefaces that inhabit those darkened rooms, all of you swarming the Con Suite like starving locusts every 17 hours or so, snarfing up every scrap of food, then retreating to your little screens for another 17...
Just shows to go ya, hey? Ya think ya know sumbuddy....

thank you cncity, I see you are new here... I have been here a while and try to help new comers, but I have become careful because some join thinking to "spam" members with offers to other pay sites and I barely have time for this place!
