fairyruneI'm typing this from home on a computer I'm going to call Frankenstein.
Apparently, my motherboard is shot to hell. We hooked up the shiny new power supply, and...nothing. The LED on the motherboard that says it's getting power lights up, but nothing else happens. Boo.
Fortunately, My Totally Awesome Little Brother (TM) had a Dell Desktop collecting dust in my old room at our parents' house. Rich and I got permission to steal it, and popped my hard drives into the thing.
Thanks to My Totally Awesome Boyfriend (TM), we once again have a functioning computer in the house.
Fun times.
Once I get a new job, I have to decide what I want to do about my computer situation. Do I want to buy a new desktop? A new laptop with a docking station? Do I want to wait for Windows 7?
Thankfully, I'll be able to borrow this machine until further notice. Also, my hard drives are fine. Yay.
