I am amazingly annoyed today; on Monday, my Athlon ups and dies. No warning, no magic smoke. Just dead.

Today, I get my old PII back, thanks to trusty old UPS, but wait, what’s this?

[Picture removed from database] AHHH! IT'S RABID!

They killed it! I mean, they really-really-really killed it. This is beyond dead; this is beyond dead parrot sketch dead. The CPUs are out of their sockets and bent; the speaker is broken from it’s clasp and has been rattling around about the video card, SCSI, and everything.

In short, this machine is a wreck, inside and out. The top and bottom are smashed it, even the back of the machine is bowed in – THE RECESSED BITS ARE SMASHED INWARDS. How could someone do this without kicking it? I’d really like to know.

Anyhow, I have no functioning PCs; this poor laptop is growing a bit slower, older, with a crummy keyboard, every day. We’ll see how things go.
