*hugs computer*

TigerDirect and UPS came through handsomely--I expected to get my motherboard tomorrow evening, and it got here today!

I am sitting here joyfully tapping out this entry via my beautiful, fast computer that has all my stuff arranged the way I like it. YAY!

Thank all the powers that be and the beloved geeks who showed me how and walked me through things when I needed help that I can do my own work like this. I got out of the whole mess for just a hair over 100 bucks including 2nd day shipping. Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou

That is all. :)
