It seems I have been a bit harsh on someone over the past few months.  My dear, dear older sister recently pointed out that I have a tendency to poke fun at her from time to time when she calls me with a computer-related question.  It’s not that I am a computer whiz myself, but I guess one could accurately say that I might be a bit above average when it comes to the "ins and outs" of home computers.  But I supposedly have a tendency to chide my dear sister now and again with comments like, "Gee, Anne...It sure is a good thing that computer skills weren't a prerequisite for your cushy, cushy job" or "Grab a crayon and write this down" and so forth. 

Well, it just so happens that I was struggling with the setup on my new router/firewall earlier this evening and I vented a bit to my sister during a phone chat.  Anne shared that she had recently made a call to a technical support outfit when she was having trouble with her own wireless router and that the tech had recommended that she shut down all her components in "reverse order" and then bring them back up.  A bit later, I applied the tip to my own setup and — wouldn't you know it — everything is working just perfectly now.  Anne has advised me that the only thing that can make up for my weeks and months of ridicule is public acknowledgment of her deed, so here it is:
For a fleeting instant on March 30, 2006, Anne knew more about computers than I did.

There...is that good enough?
