Yarghh, Computer Hell…

My puter went to the big scrap heap in the sky this morning, after a goodly number of false alarms as I frantically tried to complete my backups. (sigh)

After a day of pulling out every old box and bit of hardware in my house, I was able to get a slightly antiquated laptop running with a copy of Ubuntu Linux (thanks, Ubuntu folks, you’ve saved my bacon many times.) So here I am on the internet, and communicating happily.

I need a new desktop machine for my win-doze business applications! Anyone got any leads to a good, cheap 3 Ghz+ puter? I have all the bits, just need motherboard and box, I suspect.

RIP, old faithful, over-worked, overclocked computer….
