It was long overdue

My motherboard is smoked. Four capacitors blew up so the computer is dead as a beached shark.

It should be fixed in a couple days at most, or so I'm told.

BTW, I've borrowed a friend's computer for the time being. Its shit and not configured to my taste, but its sort of like having your car die and borrowing a bicycle. At least the bicycle will get you to your destination.
