Should be: ReCALLAbration Run

Roy - I was about to do exactly that û buuuuuuuuuuuuuuutà



àyou ought to know better than to ask me a question that requires more than a yes-or-no answer! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />


Anyway - hereÆs the story:

Kathy and I returned home from work one evening to learn that our power had been out earlier that dayà but æNo big dealÆ, right? û After all, itÆs happened plenty of times before without causing any problems (Well, nothing more than adjusting a few clocks, anyhow). --- So, I didnÆt give it another thought - and it wasnÆt until about 8PM that I even discovered that my computer was off.

Still, æNo big dealÆ, because I have a battery back-up/surge protector with a USB interface that shuts everything down automatically if the charge drops within 10% of the batteryÆs full capacity (assuming that no one is there to do it manually) û so I figured that the power must have been off for more than about an hour or so, and the system had simply done itÆs jobà

That is, until I went to start it back up.


In a nutshellà While I appear to have all of my hard drive functions intact (it starts up and seems to read from the drive just fine) - IÆm getting absolutely no PS2 or USB input recognition; therefore, I have no mouse or keyboard capabilities, and hence canÆt get my monitor awaken out of sleep mode. --- ItÆs nothing but a blank screen on System de Smiley.

If IÆm lucky, all I need is a new mother board û but since the 64bit MBs have been out for quite a while now, finding a Socket-A board locally has proven to be rather more difficult that IÆd imagined. --- Apparently IÆm either going to have to order something from the current (rather limited) selection off of the æAntiquated ListÆ at Tiger Direct (et al), or upgrade to the more recent (and considerably more $pendy) 64bit architecture - meaning IÆll have to get a new mother board & processor.

And as always, money is pretty tight at Villa de Smiley û especially now with TWO Isuzus to feed and care for - so Option (socket-)A is looking a whole lot more likely. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />


* Hmmmmmmm...
I wonder if I could have written a post that included those Callalantee links in the same amount of time (???)

I bet I may have a socket A board layin around casa de zman. With all the 'puter crap I have accumulated over the years

Let me check and I can have it in the mail.
