My computer is dead.

Dead dead.

The other day it started acting suspicious so I gave it the ol’ 3 fingered salute.

Only it didn’t reboot. Just gave me one of the most depressing sounds known to man:

Beeeeeeeep…

Beeeeeeeep…

Beeeeeeeep…

Beeeeeeeep…

No POST. No video. Just an incessant beep…

A gig of dual channel Kingston HyperX RAM. We’re talking just shy of 200 bucks to replace…

Luckily Kingston has a great warranty. I got an RMA, sent in for a swap. Should be getting more RAM in a week or so.

Until that time, I am reduced to listening to FM radio, stealing a moment or two on a roommate’s computer to check email, doing homework in a lab on campus.

But I can see the light ahead. Disaster averted, travesty overcome.
