Stories From the Digital Under-Ceiling

Turns out, the hard drive itself is ok. Unfortunately, that means it's the Mofo -- er, mobo (motherboard). So, in order to have that fixed, I have to send it back and let them have a go at breaking it even worse.

Since that will take longer than I have before spending 6 weeks in Montgomery, AL, I decided I needed a substitute. So, I bought a cheap tower, hooked it up to the peripherals I had from the last tower (that I replaced with a certain laptop) and we're back in business. And, after my sabbatical in the land of cotton, it can take up service as a print server and data store. I even got the good geeks at Best Buy to retrieve some of the data from the laptop hard drive and stick it on this one. (Yay!)

Well, I have to get to sleep soon. (I think) I have dodgeball in the morning.
