Parts is parts

HastingsStore I had to return a rental DVD to Hastings this morning, so after dropping it into the return box, I went to the cafe, got a cup of coffee and sat down to surf the Internet with my new Dell Inspiron Mini 9.

But I couldn't get a Hastings Wifi signal. I found weak signals from two other businesses in the area, but nothing from Hastings, which should have boomed in with five bars.

Finally, I asked an employee if the Wifi was down.

"Yeah, it's down for awhile. They have to get a new part," she said.

Part? Like it's something mechanical instead of electronic?

Whatever. At least I got a cup of coffee.
