Hi all, I'm back from what was supposed to be Christmas vacation. With all traveling, last minute shopping, family, ect., it was hardly a relaxation time, however. Humbug! Hope everyone else had a good holiday. Actually New Years Eve in Las Vegas was pretty wild. I have been off the list a bit longer than I expected. When I came home I turned on my computer to check my mail. Suddenly the system froze up. Figuring it was just Netscape or one of those "things" that happens sometimes I shut down and restarted the computer. At the desktop it locked up again. Again I rebooted... except it wouldn't. Again and again the system refused to start. Fortunately it is a new Gateway 2000 PIII and fully under warranty. I took it in to the local shop and was informed the next day that the mother board was completely cooked!! The hard drive they said was okay. Unfortunately when they got it all together again the operating system was not accepting the new board so they had to reformat the whole drive. Yup... I lost EVERYTHING, much of which was very important. And the moral is... Buy a zip drive ASAP!!! AAAUGGGHHH!!!!! Anyway, I have a new mother now. Let's pray she is a good one!
