That's not the reason, because I DID happen to get on VEEEEERRRRRRYYYY briefly before that damn BSD. I told him it's 9 years old and I think on it's last leg. He's going to look into a used one for me. I told him if he can find a cheap laptop that would be even better. We'll see. Thank goodness for my computer at work!!
LOL! Gotta love the people who think they know about computers, eh?? Your internet connection will not and will NEVER affect your computer by giving you the blue screen of death.... unless, of course, you downloaded a trojan horse or virus... but in your case I honestly think its just age that's an issue!

Believe me, if the "internet going out" messes up your computer... Then how do computers exist without internet? And besides, mine would have been done for lonnnng ago!
