On election night at about 7PM local time and right in the middle of
posting a response to something on the list, my PC's motherboard
decided to belly up and die.
My screen froze in mid-post and everything was locked.

So I did what one does in these situations and rebooted.

Dead

Dead

Dead

My PC was DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All it would do was give me this two tone alarm code that I could not
find referenced anywhere. My monitor told me it was on and that I
should check my PC. The alarm sounded like a British police siren from
the sixties. I waited for Dr. Who to show up, but to no avail.

Of course I was busy watching election results of our national IQ
test. <G> (That's a joke, I haven't lost my sense of humor. That,
apparently is not a part of my motherboards CMOS<G>)

The next night I got stuck at work taking care of a hospital
emergency.

The night after that I collapsed from exhaustion.

Last night I had to get my son for our visitation.

So I didn't get to examine my PC in detail until today.
It took two hours to diagnose (basically guesswork) and repair.
So now I have a new motherboard and the same old President.

Life is weird like that.
