I want…Friday 2007 #7

You’ve Got Mail

I want to have my computer’s e-mail working correctly. For some reason since I got my new wireless router (the old one went kaput), I’ve had trouble connecting to e-mail hosted by my ISP. The weird thing is my old computer is sometimes able to connect and sometimes isn’t, but my new computer has gotten connected once and never since. I’m thinking its not the router since the old computer sometimes connects. I would think a router problem would be more permanent – it either always connects or never connects. And what’s weirder is that I also can’t connect to the online version, though I’ve had other people try and they don’t have any problems at the same time I am. Also, I can always get connected to the online version at work. I can even have my work computer and home computers all connected at home, through my wireless router, with the work computer VPN’ed into the work system and be able to connect through the work computer, but not the home one. It’s getting pretty annoying, and I just want to figure out what’s wrong with it.

I also really want some of my grandfather’s homemade applesauce, but he never wrote down the recipe and we’ve long since run out of what he made. Store brands are close, but have never been quite the same thing. Since I ruined this one for most, if not all, of my readership during lunch, I decided to go with something else for my main “I want…Friday” post. But this one still deserved a mention. :)
