    Was having lots of problems with my laptop keeping connected and finally tried a usb wireless card. Still had problems until I disabled the built in card (a broadcom). As soon as the internal card was turned off I had a good connection, but an annoying card hanging out the side!
    Today I received my new Intel Dual band wifi card and, well, life is good! Man this thing is like lightning!

    It's getting there. Doc said it would probably be a couple weeks before the muscles in the area went back to normal. I'm riding a heat pack right now.

    I've got a nice air cast from where I dislocated my ankle a few summers ago, talk about pain! I didn't realize that passing out from the pain was a real thing.

    Always good to have a backup wireless card for when you surf too much porn and it takes one out, you have a backup plan to get more porn! ;) lol
