Setting
up the router was easy. I plugged it in,
took one thick yellow cord with a telephone connection at both ends and ran it
from the modem to the router. Another
almost identical cord ran from the modem to my computer.
And Presto!!
The modem’s green light was lit.
Everything seemed perfect.
Then
I inserted the CD for installing the program which would give my computer the
instructions it needed to talk to the router and perhaps, for all I knew, the
router – don’t want to leave that out.
At the very end of this process, one of my experts said that this step
was unnecessary, meaning that it led to a huge waste of time. I prefer to think that it was the obvious
thing to do – the CD was there and for every other installation an insertion
into the computer was required.
It
only took micro-seconds for the computer to tell me that this was not
good. A warning sign said, “You cannot
use the application ‘Belkin – set up – and monitor install’ with this version
of OSX.” OSX was the operating system
for my computer. It may also have been
some sort of secret designation which only knowledgeable computer experts and
those who name perfumes understand.
