Mmmm...ribs...grill...

Something very not right about the whole power glitch. Hope it doesn't blow up on you someday. ;-)

It's really weird. First PCI slot I tried, the computer wouldn't post. On the second one, the computer would post but the mouse pointer wouldn't move. So I took the card out,booted up the computer, put the card in and the whole system froze. So I powered down, put the card in a third slot and the computer came on! Everything worked fine so I left the card there.

So now I have to put the router in...what the heck, let's just start from scratch. (The idea is to turn on the cable modem, then the router, then the computer) When I plug the network cable into the card, the computer comes on. Computer works fine, internet connection is set up, computer powers down okay, but silly me can't leave well enough alone. :) I pull the power on the router and the computer starts up again. Go figure.
