Jennifer has been doing battle with her computer; forgotten passwords, internet difficulties, a dead USB adapter, a failed sound card, &amp; a temporamental motherboard.  The word "defenestrate" comes to mind.  May this act as your casual reminder to back-up all your data!  Seems fitting that it is "Tax Day" &amp; she cannot get a single thing done without feeling like another thing has broken before she could finish with the first problem.  MEH.

Also, the best we've found so far is a Sprint calling card that boasted $0.05/min. from the U.S. to Italy, only to discover that a U.S. landline to an Italian mobile is still $0.63/min.  If anyone knows how to get a better rate, PLEASE let us know!
