computer stuff

well we managed to get to the bottom of why my hard drives keep getting corrupted - the fan which cools a chip on my motherboard failed, and it overheated. Which means the hard disks are fine, but the motherboard will most likely have to go.

Fraz reckons I should be able to replace the fan and it'll be fine, but I may as well get a new motherboard/processor while I'm at it, mightn't I.

hehe
