Computer Hell

Its truly amazing how much time computer issues can take. I have spent 2 days (upwards of 14 hrs) messing with, yelling at, removing and reinstalling, reconfiguring and re-reconfiguring my laptop JUST to get my wireless card functioning and get back online! 14hrs! I thought computers were supposed to free up your time for more important things, not take up all of your time fixing them. ARGGGGG!
