Computer troubles....

I'm truly sorry for the lack of updates. Last month the hard drive in my lap top died unexpectedly. I've since bought a new hard drive and installed it, but after installing Windows I cannot get online. It seems to be an issue with not having network adapter drivers (or something like that), after fighting for it for about a week and a half I asked my computer wiz brother in law to see if he can fix the problem for me. Right now I'm typing from my dinosaur of a desk top - which works "well enough" to do small things but I believe either the hard drive or mother board on this one is starting to go as well :( Hopefully soon my lap top will be back up and running again, its truly driving me nuts not having it! lol
