I'd laugh if it was just something getting knocked loose, which is probably what happened.. mis-seated RAM or a PSU plug working it's way a bit loose.. Well I suppose the second is out since you swapped PSUs, unless you missed plugging one in..

I still have computer's from the 90's, a few p4's left too.
Something about a nice running 32bit XP machine that I can't just let go of.
Probably due to my lack of willingness to try to get things/programs to work in win7x64, :D

Indeed, there's been a time or two where I knocked some ram out of place and it just went blegh and I spent a little while trying to figure it out when it was so simple.

not really, I have some old programs and hardware I like to use (and their programs or drivers) like to only work in older versions of windows. It's less stressful to keep the old systems and a kvm switch :D

I keep all old/broken technology.. I still have my very first video card, and I have a hard drive somewhere from a late 80's early 90's computer, It's like a 2 or 4 GB hard drive or something ridiculously small like that. I have AC adapters and plugs to things that I don't even know where they came from.. I also got some very old RAM up in the attic somewhere.. Like Windows 95 old.

I have a 5.25" floppy installed on my computer... Computer itself is new~ish, built it back in October. I figure it's a good theft deterrent device, hah! Took it out of my first PC (386sx 16mhz), which I got back in 1991, when it was replaced with a CD drive in '94. I don't know why I've kept this thing through five moves, but I have...

What also grinds my gears is being around people that constantly feel the need for self-assertion and want people's attention all the time.

co-worker(s) who:
1)yawns loud enough to be heard clearly 50+ feet away,
2) declares their boredom every 10 minutes,
3)complains "i can't handle this job anymore," but bids for more hours than anyone else.
4)shares details of their life that no-one really wants to know,
5) has a hissy fit when anyone else does the same things.

What really grinds my gears... When due credit is not given to certain individuals that deserve it. Even if its not me, I just think people should be recognized for their individual hussle, whether in the workplace or elsewhere... Not this "good job team" stuff.. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of team work, but I think due props should be given to those that really go above and beyond to make sure a job gets done..
Well, what grinds your gears? :P (Go go Family Guy reference!)
