Yeah... That went well.

I mentioned here previously about the utter uselessness of Home Depot's web site search function.

A search for the words "fire extinguisher" returns three items, none of which are fire extinguishers.

I know they sell fire extinguishers. I bought the two we have in the house there.

logic is better for composers. PT is like an editing recording studio. If you write music, Logic is a powerful app. If not, NSM.

Our wings are not tired

I have Logic Express and keep wanted to learn it better, but I've just found the workflow for doing non-composition based editing very bad. It may be better in newer versions.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I mentioned here previously about the utter uselessness of Home Depot's web site search function.

As I mentioned earlier, the site well and truly sucks. I'm guessing that when they decided to set it up, their VAR asked "Do you need any help installing Windows?", and they said, "Nah, we've got plenty of folks on the payroll who can install windows."

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

All,

I have a macbook pro through work and I cannot get it to connect to my home wireless network (linksys router, WPA Personal security). Can anyone recommend some help for me? I've googled, but I can't solve the problem.

Clearly the Home Depot web site is run by the same people who are so averse to giving help in the store.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

LeN, does the macbook see the network? Have you connected and OS X box to this network before?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

ita, thanks for the comment. I'm an idiot. I didn't realize that the macbook has two different MAC ids. I didn't realize that airport had its own!

So once I got that squared away, all was well.
