Went on a road trip to retrieve some family heirlooms; was going to be a long trip so powered down my dev machine; and then unplugged it.
came back, CMOS battery kia.... and the machine's BIOS lobotomized itself. *sigh* was a good machine, for a Kell, it survived two-and-a-half years with me, and that is pretty impressive. was a i7-4790 so was already retirement age when I got it.
Replacement, replacement, replacement on it's way. Almost barebones, and to keep things within my budget, another i7-4970; this time from Hewlett-Kermin. When it arrives will pull a six-million kerbucks kermin on it - and transplant the memory, sdd's, hdd, rx550, et al to this new machine. I think I will name it Kermin.
Will be here in about a week, *knocking on wood* that KPS (Kermin Delivery Service) doesn't loose it, or run it over like Odie, or drop kick it like glassware, or use it like a Frisbee like collectable plates....
So far (also *knocking on wood*) no data loss.
such is a kerbal's life eh?
