There’s now nobody here. Mike is moving, Susan is at the courthouse. I was going to charge ahead and get a bunch more of the veterans done, but I realized that I just don’t feel like it. This thing with my computer has put me in a really bad mood. How am I supposed to fix the system if I can’t get into the BIOS. I mean, it boots fine if I don’t try to get into the BIOS…but I mean…god, the BIOS is REALLY necessary to fix problems and such. I don’t know what I’m going to do. I could clear the CMOS and start from scratch, but I don’t think that would help matters much.
I don’t want to be here today. Oh, I got to play around with Mike’s new computer since he’s not here and it’s SO COOL! I totally want a mac laptop.

Aww man, the ibooks start at $1000. :( I’m getting a PDA. Well, once I get my desktop computer to work. I really should have set up the floppy drive before I tried to set up the SATA drive. Oh well. If all else fails, I can just take it down to the computer shop with all the drivers, disks, etc. and say “make it work.” Well…more like “Make it boot Windows from a 2GB partition at the front of the SATA drive.” I can do the rest. I think I’ll back up my files on a DVD when I get home and then clear the CMOS. I do have a long time until Windows gets here…at least a week or two. Well…probably more like a week and a half. Maybe even less…I mean I did get my drive a lot quicker than I anticipated. Well, we’ll see. The integral thing will be to get Windows XP setup to pull the SATA drivers of the floppy disk, and to regain access to the BIOS. Actually, strike that, reverse it. I really should get to work. Mike isn’t here today, I’ll just do FYI and the Community Calendar (there’s a buttload of letters that have already been typed in) and then get the hell out of here. I want to surf the net and blog with impunity.
