Trying to post this through a shorting out net

The wifi device on this computer has never been the best, but recently it's been getting worse. There was one point a couple weekends ago we were even ready to call the IT support guys (though unlike her, I do not forget it's them that saddled me with it in the first place), but they don't work on weekends, and by Monday it was better. Then last night it got so bad I gave up on net connection and just spent the evening rewatching The Martian, and it's been in and out this morning as well. If we do call the guys on Monday, it may be to inquire into just wiring my desktop up again, since they did that for mom some time ago. I am starting to severely doubt the sense for using wifi for items that you don't move anywhere anyway, at least if you don't have to.
At least it was working during the first part of the morning, so I was able to watch the Australian Open mixed doubles final on the desktop. Glad to see Sam Stosur still around, even if things didn't go well for her today.
