Last Monday my computer room was about 82 degrees (it faces south and gets a lot of sun) and my WiFi connection was popping up with the information "speech balloon" above the system tray saying "Wireless Network Connection 2 is now connected" a number of times. I used my infrared Radio Shack thermometer to find the NF430 chip was about 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Today my computer room is about 72 degrees but I've been getting the "Wireless Network Connection 2 is now connected" message every minute for the past ten minutes. I have a bad feeling about this. I suspect rain is about to fall on my parade. The utterly frustrating thing about this is that I haven't seen any communication from HP that indicates they know how to eliminate this foolishness. I have bought a lot of things from HP over the years (a dual-trace oscilloscope-$1000, calculator-$400, CD burner-$400, printer-$450) and never minded paying the price because I knew HP didn't sell junk. I guess Carly Fiorina (sp?) must have wreaked her havoc of "trim it down just shy of when it breaks" and now we're seeing the fruit of that thinking. All good things come to an end, as they say.
