Stupid technology. Was just cruising the Interwebz, screen went insane, shut it down, now it will not boot. Press the power button, and nothing happens but some pretty lights. No fan, no start up sounds. Pretty sure it is not the hard drive (thank goodness for small favors,) so, I should be able to hook it up to a USB attachment tomorrow. Probably the motherboard, same damned thing happened to a desktop of mine.
Using the old Averatec, which, while I love the keyboard, action and size is great, it is slow.
