I posted a new entry in the journal. Hopefully I will be able to notify my notify list, if I can get me a password to login. which of course, is on *my* computer, not this here laptop.

Oh it needs fixing soon... the technical thingy is this:
Ron put the new power supply in, and the computer itself does not come on. that's because the old power supply was hooked up to the motherboard itself, switching it on when the computer came on. So Ron will fiddle with the old one to get the motherboard switched on then I should be good to go.

More Joy later when I find some.
