The dark side tends to be things I don't know much about.

My S/O though, well. .. she's pretty much a linux overlord

Desmosedici - it's the new Paso (except the bodywork doesn't fit as well)

So... What's up? What's the prob besides everything?  :P

My computer just told me "make the beast with two backs you!" too and goes black about 30 secs after start-up now. Brand new error this morning.  [bang] Odd thing is that if I try to shut down right after it starts up it'll shut down just fine and the screen won't go black even though it takes more than 30 sec to shut down. *shrug* Gonna get help from my dad when he gets home.
ErkZ NOT in SLO w/ his '95 m900!
The end is in sight! Gotta buckle down and get to work!

I had to reinstall windows XP a few months back and the make the beast with two backser reformatted both my internal drives even though I clearly selected the target drive....  still trying to figure that one out.  Luckily I had removed my media drive and didn't lose anything on that.  Windows just has no shortage of dickery.

the newest version of leopard is causing problems with some older duocore intel machines. Apparently it buggered up the heat management on those machines.
