    Techies Rally 'Round!

    Once again I need help from the computer savants among my readership. And without your help there may be no readership in the future. My ancient laptop is again causing me much grief. The last two days I couldn't get on the Internet because it said it could not detect a dial tone. I plugged in the phone and I sure as shootin' heard a dial tone. I took my PC card out to see if it was melted or something, but when I slid it back in the slot my computer no longer detects it. I restarted, I ran the troubleshooting wizard, I even threatened it--nothing. Can anyone give me any guidance beyond, "Dude, time to throw that computer AWAY".

    Some actual live poker to write about, if I ever get my computer up and running again. I will simply wait for the sage advice to come a-rollin' in.
