strredwolfLuke is having a lousy day. --Richard Cheeze, Star Wars Cantena.
No love out to Millenium Digital. Yesterday, I was down between 12:30pm and 10:30pm because of a large outage. Today, between 9am and 2pm due to FCC mandated maintance (at least they gave me a deadline for when it better be up). It doth not please thee and thy boss. It also doth not please thee that thy phone service (Verizon) still hasn't gotten DSL out into thy neck of the woods.
And to boot, tygris my main rig is down (which makes the purchase of the newer laptop timely). It stays up for 30 minutes at a time, and just shuts down. I'm not sure if it's my motherboard or not. I can switch out a power supply, thankfully. I may have to start pricing good NVidia-chipset mobo's, though. I have no love for VIA based motherboards.

If you've never blown the dust out of the laptop, try it, though be careful not to make the fans spin faster then they would normally or it will damage them.
