Well, my wonderful new computer made it through the latest brownout and power surge. Viva la mega surge protector/power supply!! Huzzah!

Unfortunately, the G4 did not.

Tonight it was time for an upgrade to brand-spanking-new Intel power and a 20" screen.

Holy crap. The Web cam freaks me out, and the screen is so bright it's distracting me over here in my little corner. Now I'm a moth to a porch light.
