Well.. last night after installing VMWare Workstation on my notebook and doing a reboot.. I had a strange crash, had another crash after I tried restarting.. and now when I turn on I can hear the CD drive.. I can hear the HDs spinning… but I have a blank, black screen staring back at me..

After a year and 3/4’s, it seems my computer has crumpled under the pressure.  So, all that remains now is doing a HD-ectomy and dumping all the data onto my other data drives and then seeing if maybe, just maybe there is some life left in the old girl.  But I have a feeling she is down for the count.

So, anyone have a spare computer to donate?  Maybe a powerbook pro?    Luckily, I don’t have any conferences or presentations looming.. and I have my desktop I can work on (I just hate sitting at my desk.. I prefer my patio).
