Milestones

My 1998 Jetta reached a notable milestone yesterday.



I've had her since she was a wee 28,975. That was 10 January 2001. How far we've come, my little automobile.

Also, I think I've officially declared the Inspiron dead. We tried invasive surgery and implanting a pacemaker:



Yetit was to no avail. As soon as that little video chip heats up enoughthe screen goes berzerk. If anyone knows a cheap source for a 64m ATI Mobility Radeon 7500 for the Dell Inspiron 8000/8100 series, I am in desperate need. There's one on ebay for $60, I might have to pony upthe cash. No other video card will work with that computer, alas.

I'vehad her (CORI is her name) since early 2002. In the meanwhile, I'm forced to use the lumbering BRITTA in the desolate regions of my loft for computering.
