It’s been one big hairball of a week. As noted, computer one went belly up and I decided to upgrade from Windows 2000 to XP. While waiting for delivery it seemed a good idea to do a major cleanup – rearrange furniture, dust everything, get rid of all the junk that had piled up. In the process computer two’s video died. At least this seemed like a good time to replace its old CRT with an LCD. The trouble turned out to be a bad power supply. Ninety percent of all hardware problems can be fixed with a new power supply. Oh, and I bought a new LCD anyway.
I’m back in action. No more crumbs in the keyboard, no more physical and virtual desktops cluttered with crap, no more drawers filled with strange or useless cables. How does someone wind up with 25 IDE cables?
