Cruel joke

Well, last Friday I ordered a new laptop with wireless networking and a wireles router so I can take advantage of the wireless-nature of the new laptop around the house. The wireless router just arrived, sans computer. The other way around would have been much more tollerable.

On the bright side, it does look like I can set it up as my router for the wired computers in the house. That way, my wireless connection will be ready for the new laptop when it arrives.
