Do you have the software CD for Juno, so you can uninstall and then
reinstall their ISP software?  Sounds like in your worm erasing
process, it was most likely damaged, and then the Windows reinstall
made it unoperational.

That's a good plan.  Get whant online things done that you can, while
you have the access.  Too bad you don't think you have the funds to
continue with Earthlink.  I think they ain't a bad ISP.  My dad and Don
Ivey swears by that one.  That, or go back to Netzero's affordable
plan... I think SBC Yahoo is also offering dirt cheap dial-up too.

Oh.. and wether your PC is dying or not... start backing up your files
anyway!  Now!

But Brina, don't apologize that you can't be online as much with us. 
We understand why you can't participate, and we ain't mad at ya.  Just
take care of what you need to get done, and we'll be more that happy to
fill you in when you become 100% on-line operational again.  ;]
