Lol, they better not as I had it towed to the dealership I bought it from. It is a 1999 Mazda B3000

That's some perfect timing, Machinehead! Be interesting to see what they claim is the cause... but the dealership shouldn't care since it's Mazda who's going to foot the bill.

That's lucky timing for the breakdown...naturally my old Toshiba laptop died a week after the end of the extended warranty when it died a couple years back.

Just finished Doom3 for about the 7th time in a row I need to find another game to play.

Have you tried NWN

(damn, where's the tongue-in-cheek smiley?)

And I think I need a large coffee, it's the only way to keep my head straight in the question thread.

Mind you, we've just gone into a consultative period at work, company-wide announcement, so I may stick to something stronger for now....so that's a coffee with a side of M&Ms

Morning, all. In a spot of grieving today... my iPod did a dance of death this weekend, jumping out of the holder on my arm after I finished cutting the grass. It tried to bounce on the garage floor... didn't do it well. Now it doesn't work, and just clicks when I try to boot it up.

I'm trying an iPod repair service to see if it's salvageable... more news later in the week when they let me know the results.

Say, did anyone ever find the endless M&M jar? I've got a hankerin' for some...
