It's a long drive to Prince George

I just sat down to throw some crap on here, but now I have to pee... be right back.

K, now there's room fer more beer. I'm writing this from my parent's house in PG, after spending the last 36 hours (off & on) repairing my Mom's computer, I figured it should be put to some use other than email and solitaire. It was a fun repair job, the computer had a few minor problems, and at least one virus, so since there was absolutely nothing of value on here, I decided to just wipe 'er and update everything fresh-like. The first problem I encountered was the hard drive... the dos format was able to identify some bad clusters, and even though it thought they were being fixed, problems still occurred. A very long and slow Norton scan finally corrected the stragglers. I had also brought along an old 128 meg sdram chip to add to their 64, and man, this puppy just smoked with those 192 megs. :) Until I started the new Windows install. Several hang-ups and aborted runs finally prompted me to pull the two old 32 meg chips out, seems they didn't like Mr. 128 muscling in on their turf, and the mainboard just wasn't big enough fer the three of 'em. *insert one more goofy saying here* So I tossed them in my suitcase to see if they're worth $10 in store credit when I head down to get a used 512 SD for Christine's rocket PC.
Mom's happy now though, she's got her 400mhz email/solitaire machine back up to it's full potential.
