    Computer Rebuild

    I may be away for a few days this weekend. Some online gaming friends sent me a package of computer parts to upgrade my system with. I'm still a bit overwhelmed by the gift as well as the task before me since i haven't built a computer from scratch since about 2000. This is definitely one of them "Oye!" projects, lol. I should be back up and running by Monday at the latest, Saturday night at the earliest if I start on it tomorrow night or Saturday morning. If not, well someone may need to call search and rescue, lol.

    Ok, rebuild complete. Not nearly as bad as I thought it would be. Handful of programs to finish installing and my computer will be self aware.

    Did any of those "gaming components" happen to come from a company named Skynet?
