Frustration lifted!!

The eeePC netbook problem has been resolved.  The culprit was a bad memory stick causing the issues.  Just got a PC from Georgia to look at and solved that issue as well.  (Yes, it is cheaper to UPS a desktop computer to and from Georgia to Pennsylvania and pay me than it is to run down the street to see the G**k S***d from a certain retail chain)  The week started out with crappy, annoying problems and ends with solutions!  Next week, we'll see what happens when the motherboard for a Gateway Desktop comes in and that repair starts.
