Ugh. I've had such a stressful day... mostly other people lurking while I try programming, that sort of thing. I went to have lunch with Talon and now I have a much better attitude. Let's see about that stuff I've been putting off forever...
I'm having a day where I feel really stoopid. I've been going nuts trying to figure out problems with three Optiplex GX270s, all with intermittent weirdness type problems - shutdowns, time and date issues, lockups. All passed the nearly useless little Dell diagnostics routines, all worked just fine a lot of the time.
*Finally* opened the cases this afternoon, and all three have domed capacitors on the motherboard. Doh! I should have checked that *ages* ago. *slaps forehead*
All are out of warranty, too. Fun. They would have been out of warranty even if I'd figured this out a few weeks ago when the problems started, but even so...makes me kinda mad at myself.
