They could have added in the DB25 to 50 Centronics SCSI cable and really thrown people.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
If HP Lovecraft wrote C manuals
I can't say that it made me a better programmer, but this mashup of Brian W Kernighan & Dennis M Ritchie's classic "The C Programming Language" with the elder horrors of HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos has alerted me to the urgent problem of inadvertent dimensional rifts that may be opened through poor programming practice:

Cinq adds an extra 10-inch monitor to your laptop
Looking for some extra screen space on your laptop? The Cinq is a 10-inch USB monitor that can hang right on the side of your screen, giving you all sorts of extra room to work with.
In addition to the screen, it's got an SD card reader, which is a nice touch. You'll be able to buy one when it's released in the third quarter of this year for $249.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I spent a good chunck of time on Sunday with Norton Security cleaning virus's off the laptop CJ uses. Everything worked fine when we were done and I was able to do some wireless surfing.
Now, the computer connects to the wireless network. Says it has an excellent connection. My laptop connects and works fine. But neither Firefox or Explorer will acknowledge there is an internet connection on that laptop. I have reviewed all the settings I can think of. We have tried it both wirelessly and direct connected to the modem without any luck.
Any ideas?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Re-boot the router?

If rebooting the router doesn't fix things:
It's possible IE and Explorer are still partially infected.
Alternately, are you sure you're connected to the internet? Do other programs that use the internet work? Can you ping stuff? (Open a DOS window, and type
ping yahoo.com
hit enter and see if it gets packets back.)

I rebooted the router and that didn't change anything. We are heading out to karate, but will try to ping Yahoo when we get back.

Well bless. It doesn't return any packets. I get the "ping request could not find host...".
Why would the Network Connection view tell me there is a good connection when there isn't? I'm beyond confused now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If you run ipconfig /all is your card configured and does it have a DNS server? Can you ping the router from there? Can you ping 209.131.36.159?

It does have a DNS server and I was able to ping that IP address. Now what?
