Late night open thread

Feel free to chat away, while I whine about my latest computer migraine.

Oh the joy of being me. Both my computers self-destructed tonight (yes, including the new VAIO), and I've just spent the past 6 hours trying to get them up and running. In the meantime, I lost tons of files - woo woo - and bent the ear of Kyle who runs AmIPatriotic.com (Kyle is one of the smartest, and nicest, computer wizes I know). Now my VAOI is stable, still not clear what went wrong (it just went into reboot overdrive, over and over again). And my W2k laptop is back, but now the screen resolution which should be around 1048 x 800 or so, is stuck at 600 x 480 (and when I go into the properties and try to change the resolution, it only offers 800 x 600 as the highest res, and even then it won't stick to that res). Trying to figure why my once great resolution screen is stuck at nil. Then we move on to figuring out why my wireless card won't work.

Oh, technology is a joy.
