So, there I am, minding my own business, surfing the internet, and then BAM... the interwebs leaves. I'm sitting at my computer, with that isolated feeling, wondering why my interwebs left.
So, I get on the phone and dial up HughesNet (synonomous with feces), and sit on hold. After a few minutes of doing absolutely nothing but fiddleing with wires to make sure the problem isn't on my end, Windows Vista offers me this popup box:
"Hi there! Windows Vista here. It looks like your interwebs isn't working. Want me to try to fix it for you?"
I had never seen anything like it, but what did I have to lose, so I clicked the 'Sure' button. After about 45 seconds, it gives me another popup box:
"Hi there! Windows Vista here again. It looks like your ISP is crap and isn't recognizing you anymore. I have all of your old information saved. Do you want me to try and contact their network and get your interwebs back?"
Again, what did I have to lose. Windows Vista, working its magic takes a minute or so, and gets back to me again:
"Windows Vista here again. Wow, I was right. Your ISP is really crappy. Anyway, I convinced them to let you have your interwebs back. You're good to go."
Not sure if I wanted to believe her, I opened up my browser, and sure enough, that familiar Google page pops up in front of me. My interwebs was back. Then the oddest thing happened, I was taken off hold and a technical support agent in India introduces himself and asks how he can help. I simply hang up the phone, and go about my business.
Thanks Windows Vista! I don't care what anyone says, you're the
best

I thought they said eating fish makes you smart? How does that help fish that eat people? Good point.
