I can empathize, WhyYou, with your plight. Last Sept. my brother built a P4 1.5 ghz PC for me. It crapped out last week. Ker-plooey. So I'm back using my previous Celeron 800 while setting aside the funds to build myself a fresh computer, not from spare parts this time. The silly thing is, I may not be using it much more than 9 mos to a year, but then my niece will have a nice surprise waiting for her, just in time for middle school
Anyway, glad to see you back, and hope you get caught up with your own schoolwork soon! Always the best to you!
