A Sad Technology Tale... or maybe it's just frustrating

What I lack in drama with my community, I more than make up for in computer drama.

My computer was officially pronounced dead about a month ago. Fortunately, my parents were waiting for me to need something to buy me a college graduation gift, so they bought me a new computer. However, the computer arrived and would not go on the Internet, thereby rendering it useless since I didn't have any kind of word processing until I could go online and download one. After trying several different wireless networks, I called tech support. An hour conversation later and after changing some settings and doing a system restore on my computer with the guidance of the tech support guy (even though hadn't changed anything since getting the computer), my computer still would not go online.

Now, I am at the Buffalo library and am finally able to go online. I'm relieved to be online and I'm currently downloading a word processor, but I'm not sure why my computer will ONLY go online at the library. I have a feeling my computer drama isn't over, but at this point all I can do is wait until I have a chance to try every wireless network in town.
