So far this is my favorite thing...

and I love reading everyones posts even though Sam writes about tracks every day that I never get the chance to listen to.

One of these days I'm going to put them on my ipod first thing in the morning every day and I'll listen to them on my way in to work.

I am greatful for Ryan's entries about things I don't understand except that I do but I don't really think about them so reading about them is totally new and interesting.

You know?

And as for Karen, well, she gets ideas just forgets to write them. Plus I hog the computer at home.

Speaking of hogging the computer, mine blew up. It is now an ex-computer. My hope is that my way-too-expensive video card is intact, as well as all of my data, but I do know for sure that the computer is not POSTing. Which is a biggie but a smallie.

It basically means that the motherboard is kaput.

Which means I have to buy a new one.

But do I buy a new one AND a new chip? Or just a replacement?

Please consider that I only got the chip a matter of months ago. It IS an AMD64, after all.

I just can't find any reviews of socket 754 motherboards dated later than august of last year, and it makes me feel like a dinosaur.
