Update on teh dead

Well turns out SCSI? card and CDROM had bit the dust. So there is another in there now and we now can read the CDROM. score... What should have cost about 45 bucks cost less than 3. But of course turns out the XP disk I have is not an upgrade but the install. Sooo... I either need to get my hands on a 2000 copy, which is hard since everyone in their dog is on XP. Ten to one I say fuck it and just do the install and fuck whatever was on the computer. in other news... I get home today and my phone doesn't work. Really! There is nothing but a busy signal. Call TW, they work a trouble, send someone out, all day ticket. He gets there, we unplug the modem - nothing. Unplug the phones - nothing. Plug one back but not the bedroom phone and poof. So I am thinking crap, so much for the four month old 50 phone in my room. Unplug it and he leaves. I plug it in the livingroom to clear the CID. And uh yeah, it works. So TW comes back on on Friday to look at the wiring. This is getting way annoying.
