In which I celebrate my brilliance.

I left my beloved computer to watch Shrek, Mulan, Lilo y Stitch, and Mulan (in that order, but they overlapped), and when I came back, the internet had broken.
Well, the cable light is on, so it's not that... *checks anyway*
And it's clearly not lacking power... *checks anyway*
The only problem is that no information is making it from the modem to the computer... hm...
*takes out the USB cord*
Dear god, the spots where it's supposed to be white are black!
*cleancleanclean*
*replaces cord*
Nothing.
Hm.
Maybe it's my laptop?
*tries the mouse in both ports*
Nothing. I mean, something, and that's good, but I've still got no internet.
Well, with luck, it's not the modem. I just need another USB cord, I can pick that up tomorrow. BUT I WANT MY INTERNET.
Hey, wait. Doesn't the printer use a USB cord?
(Technically, we actually have a printer or two, three if you count the one for the old C64)
*runrunrun*
Ooh, it's LONG!
*runrunrun*
INTERNET!
YAY!
And there was much rejoicing.
