<human>: Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?

This was a few years ago.  I bought my first ipod touch, and was anxious to connect it to the internet so I could use apps from the app-store. But for the life of me, I couldn't get the darn thing to connect to the home Wi-Fi.  It would detect the network, but after entering the password it came up with an error message and failed to connect.  I reset the ipod, restored factory settings, updated it etc.  I tried everything that google said I should do.  Finally I gave up and resigned myself to the fact that I won't be browsing facebook wirelessly in bed.  About 2 years later I thought I'd give it another shot, being older and wiser surely I can get it to work.  But again I failed.  Then my sister's boyfriend comes around while I'm ranting to my family about how the stupid thing won't accept the password, and he casually says "maybe it's case-sensitive".   

Typed the password in all caps and connected first try.  Desperately wished I could have the last 2 years of life back.
<bot>: Went 2 years thinking my ipod's Wi-Fi connectivity was broken, turns out the password was case-sensitive (duh).
