Hot Card

Could it be that a hot PC card is the cause of our Internet troubles? Our cable modem sometimes goes coo-coo. Lights flash and unflash. So, I decided to look into it today. I disconnected everything. I put the PC card on the windowsill to cool down, because it was hot. There was also a warning on the card that said something like:

1. This card may be affected by interference.
2. This card may cause interference.

I don't pretend to know what that means, but I do know that when I reconnected everything, we were on-line once again. Perhaps we should shut down the laptop every once in a while. I'm sure they weren't made to be on all the time.
