I've been having a blast with this little laptop – when it's been working. Ah, welcome to the world of OS alphas! I went to install the latest build of the LindowsOS, and discovered that the external CD drive didn't wanna do what it was supposed to do. Ugh. I've got the image (ISO) burned to a disc, but the Iomega USB 2.0 Predator isn't cooperating at boot. I'll have to venture out into the land of peripherals and purchase a new USB CD-RW (1.1 or 2.0) tomorrow. Although, I'd much rather borrow one; perhaps the lab will be friendly? I'll find a way. I always find a way.
