What the #$%! is wrong with our Internet?

P.S. Please include the "#$%!" and please include my name.

Dear Josh Borden,

Your earnest anger moved me to put actual effort into writing this column. I went to the Computer Help Desk and asked them, in more diplomatic terms, what was going on with the Internet. A student employee was kind enough to give me the best answers he could. He was technically not allowed to say anything, but it was his last day of work and he did not care.

Basically, no one really seems to know why our Internet connection keeps getting disconnected. The school started using a new system last fall to allow all students (even the ones with Macs or Vista) to use the Internet, and all of its kinks have not been found or solved. One possible way of alleviating your problems is not to use Explorer to connect to the Internet, but to install an icon on to your desktop and use that to log in. (The Help Desk can help you with that). This system automatically attempts to reconnect to the Internet without you having to log in again yourself.

So keep on waving those angry fists Josh Borden. Someday we will have decent wireless Internet.

Sincerely,

Yunji
