lightcastleI sometimes imagine this is the conversation I am having with my technology.
The desktop is working, sort of. The 4 beep code meant RAM, not motherboard, and so there was the pulling out and reseating of the RAM. How I managed not to destroy the delicate-seeming chips... I honestly don't know.
That seemed to fix it, except that now the Linux partition won't boot up at all. (Windows Vista is fine.)
On the Vista boot, Firefox and Chrome won't work - IE is fine.
So I have NO idea what is going on with this machine now.
The plan is just to nurse it along for a week or two until I get a paycheque, a credit card, and buy a machine. (Probably something from NCIX so I can customize it but not build it by hand.)
In other news, rehearsals for both plays continue apace and I remain hopeful for good outcomes on both.
