Another day dawns. As soon as I get home from school, I’m going to see if 16 hours with no power cord, no battery, and no other source of power was enough to actually reset FitzSheba’s CMOS, and then I’m going to get back to the business of saving her life.

If all else fails, the price of a decent nForce 4 motherboard, Athlon64 3000+ in socket 939 format, and a GeForce 6600GT is $445. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
