We are still dongle-reliant for internet at home, it's getting very frustrating. In the meantime, today at work my PC suddenly died. The guy from IT (who took hours to come and see it) thought it was the motherboard that had gone (I'm still not entirely sure what that is, but think that it going would be serious). He took it away to try and diagnose the problem and hopefully retrieve my data. 10 minutes later he phoned back to say it was all sorted - it transpired it wasn't the motherboard (phew) but some part of the power mechanism, and he just swapped it for another one (from a computer whose motherboard had died) and it is good as new.
Mind you, it probably wouldn't have been a bad thing for him to have taken longer. I got SO MUCH work done today! (can't think why!!!)
