Well...
I've been away for a bit, due to the many trials and tribulations of the internet. There was a power surge, which utterly destroyed my cable modem, along with (as it was later revealed) my Ethernet card. Now, my computer is old as dirt by computer standards: suffice to say it got Windows 98 pretty much hot off the presses. So, finding compatible parts is not necessarily a trivial task... It's done, though, obviously.
On a totally different note, I saw Constantine on DVD this evening. I mock Keanu Reeves as much as the next person who's seen Bill & Ted, but it was actually really good. Besides having plenty of eye candy (do I mean special effects, or Rachel Weisz? I'm not really sure), there were a lot of interesting reversals: resurrection and forgiveness as punishments, angels and demons on the wrong sides, and the like. Good film, really, though I never imagined myself saying that about it after seeing the ads...

I'm guessing the power surge was from the mad storm we had a while ago. That sucks. ;/ I hope your computer isn't completely gone.
