Follow up on a tech bleg

In December I had a tech bleg that Patrick and the community at Web-Nuts tried to assist me with, and I'd like to follow up on it. My sister-in-law had a friend of a friend look at her computer. Her LAN card was fried by the internet service at her college apartment. She got a hunny of a deal on a new card (read: free) and is up and running again. Thanks for the assistance, guys.
