I got it repaired, and it's all good. The dudes who worked on it were really cool, they're a tiny LOOKING company that raked in over 3 mil last year. Wow. Even hold a few US patents. They mainly do laptops, but they can repair anything. "If it can be repaired, we can fix it". Anyway, the guy was telling me how he had to use the antichrist of a soldersucker to blow the solder onto the flux to repair my chip. Pretty shwank in my opinion. Then he went off about how evil Bill Gates is, and how intel sucks becuase it isnt Mil Spec like Motorola. He's even a PC guy. heh.

Anyway, I'm going to have them overclock it to 400mhz with my next paycheck, it should be like 60 bucks or so.

WAHOO!

Ca$h (kickin ass with class in a lime soon to be overclocked computer. Heh.)
