Well it's been a long time. But I'm sitting here at 20 minutes past midnight waiting for a bunch of files to copy from my laptop to my desktop.  So I guess that I have some time to blog.

 

Well I didn't destroy quite so much hardware as I thought.  Only the Netgear wifi card.  When I removed it and replace it with the Belkin card, the machine began to behave itself.  Small mercies.  However the Library is further on in it's build stage now so the PC has had to move further away from the wifi box.  So I ran a long ethernet cable and linked it via a netgear router I have and hey presto, I have high speed network again... <Sigh>.

 

I guess I'll just have to use that 500 gig external drive I bought to back up my Raid0 volume before putting a new board in for something else.  I suppose I could find *something* for it to do.  Beside being backup which is what it is today....
