Internet at my own computer!!!!!

Not everybody is as lucky as me to have their own computer, but because it is a Windows 95, I can't do all my "stuff" on it. Usually I only use it when I write essays and such things at school. The internet didn't work (my dad tried to install it, but it didn't succeed) - and what use is a computer for then?
Yes, you heard right - it didn't work... But Sunday was a remarkable day... The weather was pretty bad and because I work eight hours every day all week, except Sundays, I was only inside that day without doing anything interesting. Suddenly I got the idea to try and install the internet at my little computer, though I knew my father had tried to do it before. I asked him for the network-card and he told me to download a network-driver (or something) at the internet (at his computer, of course). I found the driver, downloaded it and connected the network-card. I tried to install the driver, but it seemed like the card wouldn't co-operate with the computer... I gave up.
Later that day I clicked at the internet-icon at the desktop.... and suddenly I was on the net! I couldn't believe it because I had also tried the internet without "installing" the driver and then it certainly didn't work. But then.. :-D This post is actually written on my little computer!!!
Of course it is still better to use the internet at my father's computer, but anyway... !
It is really a blessing that it suddenly worked! :)
