I've (sort of) figured something out that I've been banging my head against the wall for about two weeks over.
The cool part about my job is that I get to play w/ stuff and try to make it work... The hard part is that things that I *have* to make work by a certain time.
Ah well.

Got a new laptop!
Went to a computer show on Saturday and bought a refurbished laptop. It was making me crazy not to have my own...
I stayed with the idea of wanting something small, so I got a Dell Latitude C400. It's nice and light.
Pluses: Software on the machine itself is worth what I paid for it - MS Office, XP Pro, and Symantic Antivirus all included.
Minuses: I need to buy a USB card to support USB 2.0 (1.1 is not fast enough for anybody, sorry!) CD/DVD bay is external. Don't really use that unless I'm installing new software, so it's not a big deal for me.
Also, the folks I bought it from are very interested in buying the broken one from me.
Overall, it's a downgrade from what I had before, but for $450, it's worth it to have a machine. Someday when I'm feeling "rich" I'll get a shiny new one with all the features I really want...
