Heh. It's my substitute for Kleenex. I have really bad allergies down here. I'm glad Claritin is over-the-counter now, though it doesn't quite seem to alleviate my symptoms completely.

As for the router, it's the computer-thingy. I got one for my brother for christmas so he could share my mom's dsl connection. I thought it was so cool that I got one for myself, too, and I paid for it with the Christmas money I got from my mom. I don't really need it for Internet sharing, as I use Linux. But now I can reboot into Windows and play games without cutting off my wife's connection. It's really nice to have that option.

Actually, I bought it in a bought of frustration. You see, while I was installing a new hard drive that I got from my mom for Christmas (one can never have enough space when one downloads mp3s AND records tv shows), my computer flat-out stopped booting up. Now, I'd been having problems getting my computer to boot up before, and I was told by the folks at the local computer shop that my symptoms were a sure sign of motherboard failure (after they told me this they tried to sell me a new one). Thank god I didn't buy their bullshit, because it ended up just being a faulty power cable!

Anyway, the router allowed me to be on the internet during this mini-crisis without having to move the dsl modem, install another NIC in my wife's computer, install software, set it up, etc., etc. (like I didn't have enough problems at the time).
