Well, i've got a reason to bop. I got my computer back today. It turns out i managed to fry my motherboard in my upgrade attempt. The new wine burst the old wineskin i guess. :( But the eminent technician had a motherboard that fit the new processor instead of just the old one, so now the speedster with which i cruise the information superhighway is twice as fast as it was before. Yay! True, it does leave my wallet a little thinner, but i once again have my window out into the world.
