Pardon my French... it's been a rough month or so computer-wise...

We had a nice big thunderstorm around Christmas time... and my computer, which was honestly set to restart in the event of a power outage for good reason, rebooted when the power came back on (and I was at work)... only the power supply's fan didn't bother to come back on... so it overheated... only it's right next to the processor and mother board... both of which overheated... In other words, the Alpha King (my computer's name) died. I know I'm not the most knowledgeable or charismatic member of the forums here... but if anyone was wondering where I popped off to... that would be why I haven't been around... But I managed to talk my mom out of an old 1.3 GHz celeron PC she had sitting in a closet... so I'm at least checking email (and not doing much else) at home again...

Anyway, just wanted to say "Hi!" since I was back...
