OTB Status

My computer is tango uniform at the moment, with some sort of problem involving the motherboard. Fortunately, the contents of the hard drive are intact, if only accessible for minutes or seconds at a time before the machine overheats and freezes. Dell is going to replace the offending parts in the next day or two but, in the meantime, I’m without computer access at home.

Perhaps this is the excuse to buy that notebook I’ve been thinking about getting. . . .

  1. If you have Windows 2000 on a Dell tower and installed one of their recent service packs — some time within the last six months — then that could be it. I’ve had the same problem and the only way to solve it is uninstall the SP. You will need boot disks to do it. Sorry I can’t be of more help.
