Good Morning Mo (even though it is evening now) and I am well today eni, thanks for asking. I pray all are well and have had a good day.

Perhaps Robert Browning in his "Pippa's Song" can say it better...

The year 's at the spring,
And day 's at the morn;
Morning 's at seven;
The hill-side 's dew-pearl'd;
The lark 's on the wing;
The snail 's on the thorn;
God 's in His heaven—
All 's right with the world!

can anybody get hulu to load? opendns says that their (hulu) domains are not active...

[Nvyseal]

dead for me too

[m.oreilly]

came up a few ago. can't miss "the daily show", now can i?

[eniparadoxgma]

What is this hulu of which you speak?

Anyhow...did I tell you all about me setting an IDE HDD on fire a month or two ago?

Plugged it into my evga 780i as a spare drive, turned the PSU and mobo back on, and *poof* some small flames and the smell of melting plastic (or something similar) erupted. Turned mobo off, let HDD cool down, examined smoke damage, etc. HDD was dead, (still dead). Mobo still functioning. However, after that time I could never get my usual overclock back up without getting some BSOD's when playing games. That was awhile back.

Today, I called EVGA to see if they'd do an advanced RMA and send me a mobo that I pay for, then I ship the shot one back to them, and they credit my money back at me when they receive it, yada yada.

Dude told me they probably could, but asked if I'd taken the battery out for 15 minutes, cleared the CMOS, and tried again. I think I tried clearing the CMOS, but never bothered with the battery. So, after getting back home, I did the 15 minute battery removal strategy, and tried again. Well, ORTHOS has been rollin for 1 hour 10 minutes so far, so maybe I won't have to do an RMA.

Also, if I don't have to do an RMA then I can finally put my desktop rig in my HUMONGO case and get it off my...desktop so to speak.

Plus, I have 2 x 640gb SATAs on the way that I'm going to RAID the crap out of. (only like 75 bucks each shipped)

I wonder how long it will take me to fill that new terabyte + up.

So, sorry for the novel. Just thought I'd tell you fellers what I'm up to in computer-land.
