    Unhappy Haunted house ?

    Visited an office of client of mine which bought few new computers from me, And I was asked to build a computer for the boss's wife from the old junk that is left.
    While I was in the office, There's a woman that reminds me of a witch (But a sexy one) That lurks me, And then ask if I'm going to build her the computer and blah blah, And asks me to set the secretary fax and it started to get a bit annoying.
    Anyway I am going to bring her the computer, And I also needed to set up a simple wireless network for her "new" computer and her daughter's computer.
    First of all I install her the new 19" LCD I've bought for her - And BAM there is an ugly burned pixel in the middle of the screen....Good start I say to myself....Then I connect the edimax router I've brought, And get no signal from the next room which I've installed the 3COM usb wifi card. After playing with all the router options and resetting it several times, I brought the Wifi to the same room and saw that I get only 3 out of 5 signals....Dam!t...I went to buy another Linksys wifi card....Same problem.....arrrggghhhh drived to the supplier to replace the router....Tested it at home....great signal...
    Went back to her to install the router, And getting great signal UNTIL I change country to israel BAM 2 lines out of 5 in the same room where the router is.....I ask myself "What's the ____ is going on here ?"
    OK...I reset the router to it's initial setting and it works......
    Then I went to the daughter room to find out her computer is a p3-550 with winxp and no antivirus.......I've decided to get rid of internal PCI wifi card I had because the 54g usb card worked at 11mbps because of her usb 1.1....I lay her computer on the moving tray it stands on...BAM the computer falls and shuts down....S@!t.......NOW WHAT ? I install the PCI card, It works but there is no signal indication of reception in the green lines.....AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH. ....and on top of all of that, I found out I broke one of the vga connector pins....MUMMY.....I WANT HOME.........
    Lucky for me it wasn't a pin that influence picture quality....Who said I wasn't lucky.....

    Wow!

    But too bad the image wasn't of a religious nature. And too bad it didn't look like Elvis. No EBay potential here. Sorry.


    The lad show talent, though.
