It’s not very often that I get told what I was told this morning by my wife.

Wife: My computers running slow and the anti virus needs to be upgraded.

My Translation: Go out and by Norton Antivirus and while we are at it get a new wireless router! That will of course make the computer faster!

So that’s what I did. I got Norton at Sams Club and I purchased a new wireless G router for the house. The other wireless stuff we had is a pile of dog crap. Now I only need a couple of other things and I’ll be happy.

The first might not be that far away. A brand spanking new 22 inch LCD monitor. I’m usually pretty conservative on purchases, but I figure it’s time that I spend a little on myself. So I’m thinking pretty hard about pulling the trigger on this one.

After that all I want or need to get is a portable hard drive so that I can shut down my old computer and turn it, perhaps, into a Linux machine. It currently just stores photos and MP3’s. However we will have to see about that.
