There must be a cemetery out there somewhere for motherboards and wireless cards, specifically HP manufactured.

Virtually my only connection to the internet is my laptop, or was my laptop until several months ago when my wireless network adapter had mysteriously disappeared from the drivers display box on my laptop. I would then come to realize that my laptop was no longer recognizing a wireless connection at all, and that its model number had even somehow changed in the computer information window. Then I would further come to find out that Hewlett Packard has been fully aware of this ongoing and widespread issue for quite some time, but likes to act as if they have no clue what's going on every time someone calls to complain. My motherboard will eventually die. It is inevitable. I have already backed up all of my work, but as it turns out, this is happening at a time when first exams are being issued and schoolwork is culminating. I suppose that's life.

Unfortunately, as I am at the library, and I don't have a lot of time to spend online, I can only leave this update. I am sending my laptop in, then selling it, then buying a new one. I think.

I want to warn others never to purchase an HP product. Everyone I know with the newer HP products, particularly wireless ones, is having major issues with them; and they don't look like they're about to be resolved any time soon.

Outside of that, I hope everyone is doing well. I hope to fully be back online again soon.
