OK, now I'm nearly 100%% certain it is the power supply. I'm assuming you
ran memtest off of a boot disk? That would stress your hardware very
little. And if your memory tests OK on memtest, it's probably good. The
only things you haven't eliminated are the CPU and the power supply. The
odds of a bad CPU? Maybe 1 in a million. Not worth considering. -Dave

Yes, I think some of the lessons we hopefully learned from Viet Nam are
being remembered to avoid current problems, but they are very, very
different wars. Even good old lefty me will admit that in Viet Nam, we
weren't attacked first. If there was a conflict (and history is in conflict
on this point) it certainly wasn't a 9/11. That point alone makes this a
very different war. Well, it does for Afghanistan, anyway. Iraq is another
very complicated story. For some, there is a direct connection, for others
there isn't. I hope I said my peace a bit clearer than Ms. Kitt. Honestly,
when I read her statement I thought she had gotten into the cooking sherry
or something. I couldn't make heads nor tails about it. Since Bob is my
age (I don't know about TC), I think you can pretty much assume that he has
a good idea of what it was like in our country during those times. I
graduated from high school in 1969, which was right in the middle of the
roughest time there. Like Micki, I had friends who went and some who didn't
come back. I'm sure Bob is the same. This wasn't WWII, where the "enemy"
was clear and the press and country was 100%% (or so we believed) behind the
war. This was far uglier.

Snipped dog spew from never.a.liberal.voter.

Didn't read your post after establishing who wrote it - I've realised
that one can't get through to the head of a leftie.

A pity there are more fools that those who have powers.to see reason.

Easier to deal with a crook who has a brain than a leftie without a
brain.

I'm not sure which is best #6 or #10.
