Got up this AM, tried to check my e-mail, and discovered my

decided it was not the hard drive (whew!), but that the power
supply had failed. So had a ton-o-fun(TM) crawling around under
my computer desk, removed the power supply, made a 40 mile round
trip to Fry's for a replacement, installed it, and VOILA, I'm
connected again. :-)

Man, it's major withdrawal when I can't check e-mail, newsgroups,
and the markets.

Know the feeling, whenever we have a few days away, first thing, soon as
we've checked around the house, have to go online, if only to clear out the
spam.

Gets to be a bit like when the motor's in for service. I actually try to
plan for a day of odd-jobbing around home so there's no need to go out, but
I still feel marooned for the day. It's almost like losing a limb.....
