despair

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.
