Help, please?

The laptop has been returned to me, and will now turn on and charge. Both of these major improvements.

I would be all joy at this occurence, believe me. Except for the little fact that my little laptop can't detect wireless networks when in the same room as the router, and asks me to be sure that the wireless switch is turned on, or some such.

So I'm asking - no, begging - any of the more tech-savvy folks out there; what's a wireless switch, how do I find it, and how do I turn it on?

Please?

ETA: Some fiddling has resulted - marvel of marvels - in the discovery that the Fn and F1 keys, pressed together, restore wireless functionality. Am I the last person in the world to learn this?

This exercise lark...

About half an hour ago I started wondering why I felt so wrecked. It was only mid-afternoon, and I hadn't exactly arisen early.

And then, of course, I realised. I'd just spent the better part of two hours in the gym.

This exercise lark is really quite draining, you know.

I'm improving my fitness levels pretty quickly, all things considered: three weeks ago I could barely run for three and a half minutes at a stretch without stumbling and gasping like a landed fish. Now I'm up to five minutes initially, and another fifteen minutes alternating running and walking minute by minute, for over a mile and a half inside twenty minutes.

If I was just running, I'd probably be less wrecked, but I've started to spend over an hour and a half in the gym every time I go, in order to get a decent amount of weight work in. I can't lift anything heavy, of course, but it's amazing how quickly your muscles adjust to a new workload.

At the time, at least. Afterwards, I'm tending to fall over like a lump, and sag into somnolence for the rest of the evening.

At least it feels good. :)
